HKS don't use /extend article to behave like a product like seblod or J2Store do ( the aim of my question ) ...so documentation link don't answer to my question . The link to documentation ask new question : How search can work on article that contain dynamic parameter "{ }" ? .Does search index work on rendering content in FE ( view mode) or work on content in BE edit mode ? If BE edit ; iIs there a way to convert dynamic content to static to have efficient joomla local search ? A capture screen is better than 1000 words ( about insert product inside article ) it is really great taht the documention link contain information about howto override display content !! #### Attachment not found regard's Last edit: 11 years 6 months ago by [lionel75](/forum/user/11856-lionel75 "View lionel75's Profile").

For example, having several categories for an article. It's quite common to have a product in several categories and Joomla doesn't allows for that due to the way categories and articles are linked together. That's why HikaShop has its own product entities and doesn't rely on articles. Instead, we offer the possibility to link products with aticles with this product tag system. The Joomla search system can already search in the content of the articles, whether there is a link to a product or not. And if you want to have the search gives you a link to the article thanks to a value entered in a custom product field of the product (I guess that it's the limitation you're talking about ?), that's still possible. For that, enter the link of the Joomla article in the canonical URL of the product and activate the HikaShop products search plugin and configure it to search on these fields. The search will then display product results based on their custom product fields and these results will poin to the Joomla article.

Until now there are already some extensions that implement [ muticategories](http://extensions.joomla.org/category/structure-a-navigation/multi-categorization) ( 1 pay other free) and rather than implement many it ll better that all those developpers group their effort to implement one in joomla core level . It really ask myself why each component implement their own categories because idon't understand the logic of so many categories ! ( JEvent has categories , hikashop has categories .... ) How must be the logic to search in article if article support only one categories ? search in full text content article or using tags, metadata option keywords ? regard's Last edit: 11 years 6 months ago by [lionel75](/forum/user/11856-lionel75 "View lionel75's Profile").

Every extension had its own user groups system. Then Joomla implemented its own user group system and then extensions moved to use Joomla's user groups. So yes, let's hope they add that in the core of Joomla in the future. You can configure the HikaShop Products search plugin to search in the columns of data you want.
