Hi,

There is no easy way. It requires customizing the Joomla results pages. The thing is that the search results and tag results can display things other than products. It can be Joomla articles, or other Joomla extensions content.
So Joomla just display the basic information (name and description basically). Having it display an add to cart button would be difficult since it only applies to the results that are HikaShop products and Joomla doesn't have a mechanism to request how to display each search result based on its type.

However, here is an alternative:
Instead of using Joomla search/tag system, you can use HikaShop filter system:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...-filter-listing.html
You can for example create a text filter on the product name and product description (and other columns if necessary) in order to search on the products data similarly to what the search system of Joomla would do.
However, the results will be displayed as a HikaShop products listing and thus you'll have the same display options as the normal listings of HikaShop and so you get can the exact same look.
And instead of tags, you could create a custom product field of the type "multiple dropdown" to be able to select tags in that custom field, and then create a filter on that custom field to get a similar thing as the tag page.

Hi,

Yes. You'll find a module called "HikaShop filter module" in your Joomla modules manager that you can use for that.

Thanks, but i don't find this module. I have free version of Hika.
Also is there something to have short description in left and under to have full description but without text from short description?

Now i use shortcode for short but in full description is short description text + full.
Now i use css to hide 100 first characters but is not so ok.
Cheers

Hi,

The filters mechanism is only available in the Business edition of HikaShop.
If you want to stay with the Starter edition, then you'll have to use Joomla's search mechanism and customize the view of the results from Joomla's search component.
Here is a page talking about this:
