The following is a list of known issues for the new Site Search:
Product links in search results use primary domain and item ID, and not product-url
The new Site Search currently creates links to product pages in search results using the following format: http://<primary domain>/<itemID>.html. For the majority of online stores, a product page link in this format will point to the correct product page. If your store is designed to use the Web Hosting portion of your account, please note that the product-url field in your product catalog is not used to create product page links in search results, and may result in inactive links to product pages appearing on your search results page.
All-caps in the categories drop-down
A known issue exists in which the text in the category drop-down appears in all-caps on your store pages, but shows as title case on your preview page. To correct this issue, please re-run the Design Wizard to update your CSS. If you do not wish to re-run the Design Wizard, or are using Editor 2.0 templates or custom templates, you may add the following CSS to your store's css-edits file:
#searcharea label {
text-transform: none;
}
To add this CSS to your css-edits file:
- Copy the CSS above.
- In Store Editor, open the Advanced Editor, and click on the "Contents" link in the Advanced Editor toolbar.
- On the Contents page, click the "css-edits" link.
- Click the "Edit" link in the Editor toolbar.
- Paste the CSS styles into the "Css-text" field.
- Click the "Update" button.
- Publish Store Editor to update the CSS on your live site. (Note: If you have saved Site Search settings that have not yet been publishing, publishing Store Editor will also publish these settings.)
Search filters module may not display for searches with a single search result
When a search is performed that produces only a single search result, the search filters ("Narrow results") module may not be displayed on the search results page. If you are previewing your Site Search settings, you will need to perform a search with multiple item results in order to preview the search filter module. This issue also exists on your live search results page.
The search results page for the new Site Search includes Customer Registration and Floating Cart links when these features are enabled. If you are using Editor 2.0 templates or custom templates, you may need to add or modify CSS used in your Search-page-header variable to adjust the style and positioning of these links.
Domain is pointing to the Web Hosting pages
Site Search only works when the domain is pointed to the store pages and not to the web hosting pages. If you want the search function of Store Editor but the domain points to the web hosting side (site.domain.com), the DTO (Domain Traffic Option) will need to be switched to the Store Editor home page instead.
Here's how to Change where domain traffic points.
