Include category label as search criterion in product search

[scbawik]

Hi!

 

I first posted this question in german forum last week, but I don't think I'll get an answer there.
https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/394345-kategoriebezeichnung-in-suche-berücksichtigen/

 

I want to include the category names as keywords for my products.
e.g.:

 

Clothing -> Shirt 001
Clothing -> Shirt 002
Clothing -> Shirt 003

 

Now, when I search for "Clothing" no result shows up.
I know, I could include "Clothing" in product description to get it correctly indexed, but that's not a good solution.

 

I also could try to modify classes/Search.php::find, but I'm not sure if this is an upgrade proof solution.

 

It would be also great, if the category keywords work recursive.
e.g.:

Clothing -> Men -> Tops -> T-Shirts -> Shirt 001

works for "Clothing", "Men", "Tops", "T-Shirts" and "Shirt 001" as search terms.

Hi scbawik,

 

Have you found a solution?

 

Thanks

The category name is standard part of your search terms. This is defined in the backoffice in Preferences->Search and then at the bottom under the header "Weight". The default category weight is 3. Check what it is for you.

Hi musicmaster,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Even though the category weight is 3, the search should return information if it doesn´t find it in the other "heavier" search labels (product name, description, etc.)

 

Anyway, I changed the weight but it still don´t work.

DId you try regenerating the search index?
