Hello,

It seems like any product that's in multiple categories will be listed multiple times in search results.

I know duplicate results can be disabled via finder in the backend but it seems redundant and time consuming to do it every time you run the index for multiple products.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,
Chetan

Hi,

Yes, the products are indexed for each category they are in.
Remove the lines:

->select('c.category_name AS category, c.category_alias as categoryalias, c.category_published AS cat_state, 1 AS cat_access')
$case_when_item_alias = ' CASE WHEN a.product_alias != "" THEN a.product_alias ELSE a.product_name END as slug';
		$query->select($case_when_item_alias);
and:
->join('LEFT', '#__hikashop_product_category AS pc ON a.product_id = pc.product_id')
			->join('LEFT', '#__hikashop_category AS c ON pc.category_id = c.category_id')
from the file plugins/finder/hikashop/hikashop.php and it should prevent that.
Let us know how it goes. Ideally, we could have an option in the plugin to activate or deactivate that.

Hi,

Well, this modification won't remove the results already indexed. This modification is to avoid the system from reindexing duplicates when the product are in several categories.
Can you confirm that you cleared the index before reindexing with the modification ?

Hi Nicolas,

Silly me, I did not ran the index again, but when I did. I got some errors, So I went ahead and modified the SQL a bit and here is the final function for getlistQuery before that works and display the product only once.

Hi,

I've made the option. Please install the plugin, check that the option is turned off, and it should work liek you need when reindexing the products.
