Hi Fred,

Are you sure the menu you linked to the search plugin contain the products you are looking for?
This may be the source of the problem ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")

Hi,

You probably activated the Hikashop search plugin or a filter to make this search field.
In the configuration of these objects you can choose which menu is linked to the search module. It's the menu in which the search will be done.
You should take a look at it.

EDIT: If it's a filter, make sure the category selected is the good one and that the "Including sub categories" option is activated. Could you by the way post a link to your website so I can try it?

The problem is that in the options of your filter module, you need to enter in the "menu" option the id of a products listing menu item displaying all your products. There is such menu item created by default by HikaShop so you just need to get its id there.
