Joomla Smart Search

So I was testing out the new smart search in 2.5. I realized that your hikashop is not integrated with it. Non of the results get indexed in the search. Any ideas on when/if this will be implemented?

I have recently updated my joomla to 2.5 and hikashop to 1.5.6
The search is working fine....

Do you turn on hikashop search plugin?

Are you using the old joomla search module or the new smart search one? You have to replace your old module with the new one. It seems that hikashop is not showing up in the new results.

I have don't replace anything in joomla. Only upgrade.
How could I turn on smart search?

May be smart search don't work....

So this question is for Nicolas...

I have upgraded too and there's no indexation of hikashop informations (products, manufacturers and categories).
The advanced search is partial.

JA

Can you give us more precision? I don't see any plugin on your website. I have inactivated Smart Search in Joomla, HikaShop categories search plugin is activated, nothing work now...

not to open another thread, i will ask here:

Is Joomla smart search supported yet? ....if not, what kind of dynamic search can be substitution for hikashop?

i think web-shops with several thousands are in minority group, but nevertheless hikashop needs genuine live search bundled with in it.
Waiting for joomla 3.x is not a real solution, rather it is postponing an existing problem. We need dynamic(smart) search in present.

this is just my opinion

I would personally put Mulivendor system on top of the priority list for hikasop, as well as responsive design, so we could say we generally agree on that....i hope one day dynamic search will be native in hikashop, although i think it only needs much less of progamers time to make it work.....

EDIT: just got an idea, you could put a poll on forum what feature should be first developed, so commercial users could vote for what they really want to be done first.

Hello Guys,

So you are saying the more poeple ask for smart search, the more you will prioritize? Then I'm another client of yours asking for smart search.

Why I think it is important ? Lets give a simple example: If you are a client and you are looking for a item that you cant remember the name, cant remember where it was located but you have the item code, you would search that item code through the smart search. But since there is no smart search at all that can find items through the item codes then you just lost another chance to buy.

Hi,

We have a lot of functionalities asked, so we manage the development priority according to the number of people asking for a functionality.
The more people ask something, the more it's important, because it's useful to most of you.

Hello Guys,

IS there a forum where the functionalities are requested, so I can put my requests?

Regards,

Angel

this functionality is not only common, but vital to webshop itself, because it enables more sales, and that is the essence of web-shop as angel110785 explained in previous post.
