Please tell me that I can and how to achieve the same thing with HikaShop.")* Hi, There are three ways to search for products: - using the Joomla search module which will use the standard search system of Joomla and the plugins of the group "search", including the Hikashop Products search plugin. When using that module, you won't have auto-complete and suggestions. You'll have to click on the search button after entering your text to see a list of matching results, which can be HikaShop products or Joomla articles or other elements supported by the search plugins you've activated. - using the Joomla search search module. It will use the plugins of the group "finder". This requires first to index the products via the smart search component in your backend. This module can display suggestions and if you validate the search, you'll see a list of matching results, which can be HikaShop products or Joomla articles or other elements supported by the finder plugins you've activated. - using HikaShop filter system ( [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...-filter-listing.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/100-hikashop-filter-listing.html) ) and the HikaShop filter module. There are three main advantages of that solution. The first is that it searches only on products and displays the results as a normal HikaShop products listing, so the search results will look good compared to the search results of the two previous methods. The second is that if you activate the auto submit setting of a text filter, it will automatically refresh the search results while you type in it. The third is that on top of a text input field, you can have dropdowns, radios, etc to propose multi criteria searches to your customers in order to find what they want. What you have with the example you provided can be done with HikaShop filters but not with the smart search or search provided by Joomla.

Don't display ? Leads to an error ? From your elements, maybe we have a theory (but can't be sure of it) maybe you haven't select the **correct Filter method**, see your screenshot annotated by myself : [ ![alt](https://i.postimg.cc/c12V7H0t/2021-02-26.png) ](https://i.postimg.cc/c12V7H0t/2021-02-26.png "alt") The red bordered part can be set with **several different filter method**, and from what I can see the current selected one is about price range, and at least **isn't linked** to the filter method in your other screenshot. Hope this will help you to progress on your current issue. Regards Last edit: 5 years 8 months ago by [Philip](/forum/user/34318-philip "View Philip's Profile").

This needs to be the id of a menu item of the type "products listing" configured to display all the products of your shop. Then, the filter will apply on the products from that listing. The fact that you get "no products found" when you use the filter is probably because this menu item with the id 104 is not configured as such, so please check its settings via the Joomla menu manager.

For the filter, make sure that the menu item with the id 1016 (from the "menu" setting in the filter module) is of the type "HikaShop products listing" and configured to display all your products. Then, it will work. You might actually want to change that number in the "menu" setting of the module instead of changing the settings of the menu item so that you don't change a menu item that displays already like you want. 2. In the settings of your "shop by categories" module, you need to change the "sub elements filter" to "direct sub elements" as you only want the main categories in the module. Also, you need to turn off the "synchronize" setting so that it always uses the cateogry configured in the "main category" setting and not switch to the current category. I would recommend to check this tutorial about displaying the products and categories on the frontend which talks about this and other things: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/3...splay-front-end.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/308-hikashop-content-display-front-end.html) The following user(s) said Thank You: [andrewwinkler](/forum/user/60500-andrewwinkler "View andrewwinkler's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS85MDE5ODctaGlrYXNob3Atc2VhcmNoLWJhcj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[andrewwinkler](/forum/user/60500-andrewwinkler "View andrewwinkler's Profile")** - [![andrewwinkler's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/60500-andrewwinkler "View andrewwinkler's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/60500-andrewwinkler) Less More - Posts: 121 - Thank you received: 2 - 5 years 8 months ago [\#330457](#330457) by [andrewwinkler](/forum/user/60500-andrewwinkler "View andrewwinkler's Profile") Replied by *[andrewwinkler](/forum/user/60500-andrewwinkler "View andrewwinkler's Profile")* on topic *[HikaShop search bar](/forum/26-product-category-display/901987-hikashop-search-bar#330457 "-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.23 -- PHP version -- : 7.3.25 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox Does HikaShop have a search similar to the one on eBay or Amazon?

I still would prefer it if there was an advanced product search for HikaShop similar to the search provided on eBay and Amazon and which is also available for Virtuemart. When the customer enters for example "toast" in the joomla search bar, it doesn't just provide a list of links to toast items in the catalogue, but formatted columns of thumbnails with "add to cart" icons and prices, similar to what you get when you enter "toast" in the filter while staying in the "bread" category.
