Using Search Helper Admin

• Go to Admin > Tools Search Helper
• Press "Insert" to add a new search helper keyword mapping. The "Yes" radio button means show the new keyword on the product info page. (See Installation step 2.)
  
  
• Once the prior step is complete, the old and new keywords will show in a list. This configuration means that when a customer types in "Compaq" the search will look for "HP".
  
  

Installation Instructions:

1. Back up everything! Try this in a test environment prior to installing it on a live shop.
2. Run the script keywords.sql using Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches.
3. Copy the files in the includes and admin folders to the root directory of your shop.
4. Go to Admin > Tools > Search Helper, and configure Search Helper.
5. Customize the tpl_product_info_display.php file if you wish to display any of your new search keywords. Put the file includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php into includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates. Then add this block of code to the tpl_product_info_display.php file

   
   <?php 
   require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_search_helper.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_search_helper.php');
   ?>
   
   

   The placement of this code is a matter of personal preference; on my test site it is right below the description.
