search sku does not work

when i do a product search it will not find sku's.

i googled and found articles saying to add it somewhere but i do not see it, i found a plugin but no where to add product sku into the search

if you go to the website 20page.com/ and search for any item such as

20page.com/index.php/products-and-estima...mailbox-wall-mounted , search for american and it brings up nothing, i have tried changing the filter but it seems to have made it worse,,,,i just want it to findand shu or title or description

This is very confusing, i just want it to find keywords to product title or description or sku,,,seems like you have to be a rocket scientist,,,help please, do you have a video

are you telling me it will not search for product id skus?

I have done what your instruction says and it still does not work,,,,,,I have been trying to get this to work for 2 days, I bought the layout from templaza.com/ there developer said your filter module has a error in it and to contact you.

please provide support.

Sir,,,,when the templaza.com/ who is listed on your website as a template provider say it wont work and there is a error then there would seem to be a problem

Yes I changed it to the joomla search because at least it finds something,,,I setup a hika menu for all product all categories and added into the module and it finds nothing, templaza.com/ said there was a error but did not say what , said i had to contact you,,,I dont know if its there tempate or hika,,,but I have been messing with this for days and it wont work,,,,,

It sounds like you are talking about using one of the core Joomla search plugins, not HikaShop filtering.

There are two different Joomla core search plugins that come with Joomla CMS. One is the classic search, the other is a newer "Smart Search".

HikaShop has search plugins that work for searching products or categories, but only with the classic Joomla search. If you are trying to use the Smart Search, it won't work. Switch to the classic Joomla search and then configure and enable these two HikaShop plugins:

- HikaShop products search plugin
- HikaShop categories search plugin

If you really want to use the newer Joomla Smart Search with HikaShop, you'll need custom development or to use a 3rd party search option. There are no standard HikaShop search plugins that work with it.

Hope this helps!

no, hika search, menu item made, see attachments

I figured it out
