search results filterable?

Hi,
When I search for a term on my site, say "Ping g30 hybrid" , I get pretty good results. However when I used the sort by widget to try and put those results in order from low to high price it doesn't work. It gives me results from the entire site.

Is there a way to filter search results obtained from the search bar?

Hi,

Search results are returned in order of relevance only.

so once you have the search results you can't filter them further?...say by price?

[yankeestonk]

If that is the case, I guess I should remove the "filter by" and "number of page results" widget on the search results page, right? Is that what makes the most sense. Right now if I get results then try to increase the number of results per page or filter them at all it gives results from the entire site. So if search results are a one shot deal, can you show me in my code below exactly what to remove? Thanks

Eric,

if I want the search bar to search the product title and not the description, how do I do that? Right now I'm getting a lot of irrelevant results mixed in.

[yankeestonk]

Do I have this set correctly to search by relevance?

[Eric]

You need to change name="word" to name="name" in your search form. However there are limitations to doing this.

The sort setting is ignored on the Search page.

[yankeestonk]

Thanks Eric!

last question on this... The problem I'm having is that it is searching the description, when I need it to search just the title. (when I search for "golf bag" it returns a lot of products that do not have the word golf bag in the title) Can I make it search just the title?

Nevermind. You answered this above. I misunderstood.

[yankeestonk]

do I change both to "name"?

[Eric]

Hi,

Almost...
