Search display options for products

[Pothe]

Hi,
If users search with the search option the results page displays the results like post content. We need to have a result page that display products like a shop view.

I’ve selected the search to only show products. But the view of the results page is no good for a shop.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks

Hi,

Try this, open up search.php at line #26 you saw a line like this

<?php sf_base_layout('archive'); ?>

change that to

<?php woocommerce_get_template( 'archive-product.php' ); ?>

I also, forward this to our developer to confirm this, and if possible add this feature in the future updates. Thanks for notify us.

Let us know,

Thanks,
laranz.

Hey there.

Alternatively to the above, and maybe a better option, please check Theme Options > Header Options > Header Search Post Type

If you set that to Posts, then the header search will trigger the products search archive.

Hi Ed,
Not sure I follow.
heme Options > Header Options > Header Search Post Type

Options are:
ALL
Products (not posts)

I had this set to products and the search results display as set in the archive settings. This is not what I want.

I want the search results for products to display a product grid.

I’ll try Laranz’s suggestion. But it should be theme functionality to display the product grid for product searches.

Thanks guys

Hi

Setting to ‘products’ show show the product grid layout instead of the general archive layout. Are you using the latest version?
