When searching nothing comes up from the search modules.")* Hi, The settings seems to be correct, so if they are published the Joomla search module should give results. Could you try to use the id of a product listing menu directly for the product search plugin ? That menu can be a hidden one. Another solution could be to use the HikaShop filters, that way you can have a search and display the results as a product listing, and not as a search result.
