Search Helper Admin allows you to set your search helper keywords right from the admin panel without having to modify code.

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.
