How come we cannot use the front end search to find commerce products?  Have never come across an online store that you cannot search, very important feature please include this.

Really surprised that no one has commented on this, guess I must be one of the few that uses just commerce with loads of products. The search function is a really important part of every community, and not being able to search the commerce is a HUGE failure by Invision, Need to be able to search the store otherwise, people will just give up looking for a certain products and go to a competitor meaning I will be losing money.  

Please add this to your to do list, I beg you.

That's odd. Indeed, missing.

In 3.4 it is the normal search bar (switches to Store when on store page), and on the search page as an app.

hopefully it got missed when they redone v4 and not just removed.  Tempted to put in a bug report incase it was just forgotten / not showing because of another issue...

I would if I were you, it is definitely supposed to be there. You have to be able to search a store.

Or maybe admin will chime in.

Reported it as a bug, and Daniel replied with this.
 

It isn't a bug, it's just not implemented yet, but we have already an internal topic for this.

 

So I am happy.   Just hope it gets implemented soon, as I am constantly adding new products to my store, only a matter of time before I really need the search feature, but for now I am fine without it.

 

@Daniel F any update to this?  This is slowly becoming a bigger issue for me, as I only run commerce and I am constantly adding more products, not only this but I am currently in the process of taking over another company (another store) and will be redoing that website with IP.Page and IP.commerce and there are a lot of products and customers are going to start getting frustrated when they cannot search for what they want, which I will start losing money through both sites...

No news about this feature ?

Another problem : new products don't appear on Activity Stream. Why ?

 

 

4 months on and no news at all about this...

I also noticed reviews of products do not show in AS. I don't use store reviews but they should probably be in the stream for admins that want them. It's extra product exposure.

Honestly little disappointed in IPS for number one not addressing this in this thread and number 2 not implementing it in the first place. 

Coming up on 9 months and still waiting for information on this.
