Search by Product ID

How can I get the Search Module to search Product IDs?

The search finds text in product descriptions and other web pages, but does not find product numbers. For example, a search for "Baby" on this page returns 50 results. Clicking the Products checkbox finds one result with the appropriate product.
silentwordministries.org/index.php/publications/swm-products

However, a search for the product number is BS1 does not return the Baby Sign Language book.

I am using
-- the latest stable version of HikaShop Starter: 2.3.0
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.19
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.28
-- Chromium Browser (Linux)
-- Error-message(set to Maximum) -- : No errors shown.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried it and it doesn't work for me. I have a message that say that I need a word with more the 3 characters. I have lest than 100 products. So, All my products have only two characters (ex: 28).

We really need the search to be applied into Product ID.

Is there any way to include those product into the result? Thanks,


This is my "Search - Hikashop Products" setup:

We will have to make a big reset and delete all our product when the work will be finished.
So, it will be a fresh start.

What procedure do you suggest?

1. I create a new product
2. change the database for a three digit ID ( ex: 101 )

After that, will my new products stills use the following ID,s? ( 102, 101, etc... )

-- -- -- --

Another option could be the create 99 fake products that I will keep unpublished with an inventory of 0. That way, new products created by vendors will have their 3 digits.

Way do you think. Which approach would you choose in our situation?

I continue my reflexions about that.

I have made some tests with products that I have deleted.

Actually, I have only 6 products for my tests and my ID is at 28.

I want your opinion on that. If I enter 72 news products during the tests process. products that i will delete before launching the website.

The ne IDs will be > 100 and the products will be find by the search tool.

What do you think of that?

Thanks again!

Much more easier. Thanks,
