DannyPhantom Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 It would be nice, if the IPB Team could integrate the commerce application to the search feature , What does other customer think about it? Best Regards ,
DannyPhantom Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 Perhaps someone could create a plugin for this? I would donate for it, or someone from the IPB Team could look for it? It would be important and I think It's bad that this is missed. Best Regards,
MarcusH Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Been a few posts on this for about a year now, every couple of months I ask about it and they say they are working on it but no ETA. I run a store which uses only commerce and pages, every day that goes by that my store doesn't have a search I am potentially losing money. I have had enough and been working on moving away from Invision Power for my store, shame as I am also setting up another store which I was also going to use commerce for. Shame I have been with Invision Power for about 6 years now, and own 3 Licenses (across multiple accounts).
DannyPhantom Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 There are no any news for ? It would be great if IPB can add the search function also for the shop. I don't know how complicate this could be. There are also a great quick search hook at the store here. @IPB will you work on this?
BN_IT_Support Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I also keep asking as well as for Pages, but nothing yet. I find it's omission incredible.
Tracy Perry Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Considering that this is sold as a suite of applications, you would expect basic integration of such a low level feature as search.
Management Lindy Posted January 9, 2017 Management Posted January 9, 2017 At a user level, I completely understand (and agree with) the expectation that everything across the entire suite should be searchable. At a technical level, it's not quite that simple. To allow for the most common apps to be searched in an efficient manner, IPS4 utilizes a search index that consolidates basic entries of content. It would take ages to search and cripple many environments to search everything independently or do a series of joins across a dozen tables. The downside to this approach is, not everything is in the search index at this point. 4.2 will see some basic search improvements. 4.3 (which we also expect this year, so don't panic - it's not years out) will see a search engineering overhaul to include an even more robust system -- including elasticache. The ability to search Pages and Commerce comes up a lot - it's definitely something we are going to address as soon as possible.
Tracy Perry Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 @Lindy, won't this be something that will be easier to deal with once ElasticSearch is integrated? I know it won't help those that are on shared hosting (unless they have access to a VPS to run ElasticSearch on and integrate with)? I realize that the MySQL search has limitations in the performance aspect for this, but maybe making it an "option" that requires ElasticSearch would be the best solution?

Use Redis, it's open source.

Management Lindy Posted January 10, 2017 Management Posted January 10, 2017 Good call, thanks @Tracy Perry I did in fact mean ElasticSearch. I was replying to another topic about Redis and we're very pro AWS here at IPS.

Thank you.

Management Lindy Posted June 10, 2017 Management Posted June 10, 2017 Unfortunately, the search improvements, including commerce and external search were shelved until 4.3 as it's a pretty large undertaking and engagement was the focus of 4.2.

Okay, thank you for the feedback, it's appreciated. One more quick question. With the search in 4.3 include commerce search, at the very least on product title? If yes I'll wait for 4.3. If not I'll start now a write my own plugin as I can not wait much longer. I'll probably have to butcher my way through it but basic search via a plugin will be better than no search until 4.3 comes out. Again, thank you for your reply. Guylain
DannyPhantom Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 First it would be more than helpful if we could search for product names. Without Special Features.

DannyPhantom Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 There are any updates for the search integration from nexus?
DannyPhantom Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 @Lindy I've got an E-Mail for the next bigger release, and here I would know if we're able in future to use the search function on commerce, too. I only do need it for our company planning, if we need to build a own search solution or not. It's not the problem if the team says that their not able to do this at this time and with such an answer all people could live with a potted answer. please don't understand me wrong, It would not make sense, if we start building solutions and with the next release we would getting this. Greetings, Dan
