It's missing the Itemid parameter which comes from the current menu used. If that link comes from a products listing module of hikaShop, it means that you didn't select a category listing menu item in the "menu" option of your module that you can find by editing your module via the menu Display>Content modules.

It comes from doing a search in Search field above the login, which is where people will be doing their product searches. So I have to create a menu item first before I can have a valid catergory listing page? I'm not really following...

Kind Regards, Matthew")* Hi, There is already a category listing page created by default. In the options of your HikaShop product search plugin, there is an itemid (menu ?) field where you need to enter the id of a HikaShop category listing menu. If you look in the HikaShop default menus via your joomla menu manager, you will find one. Simply enter its id there.

Kind Regards, Matthew")* Hi, I said that you need to edit your hikashop products search plugin to configure the itemid option, not to edit the joomla search module. And I said that you should enter the id of a category listing menu item, not the id of a category. You can find HikaShop category listing menu items via the menu manager of joomla. Please do that and that should fix the problem.
