Suggestions?")* OK, apparently I didn't fully appreciate what 'filters' meant on the simple product comparison page. In the more detailed product pages it seems that the search function is available only with the fully featured Business edition. Sorry for any confusion.

Suggestions?")* Hi, You can enable the Joomla search module via the Joomla modules manager and then configure the HikaShop Products search plugin via the Joomla plugins manager. An alternative is to create a filter and use the HikaShop filter module to display it (it can display the results as a standard HikaShop products listing) but it is only possible with the Business edition of HikaShop: [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...-filter-listing.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/100-hikashop-filter-listing.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI1LWluc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzg2ODI2Ni1oZWxwLWNyZWF0aW5nLXNlYXJjaC1ib3g/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
