@ Mike Houtepen ;

Hey, I’ve been having the same problem, if I leave forms empty, it just throws and error. I’d need advanced search on the left with category, but both this system here^^ and category-thing on the wiki just throws only errors to me. (http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how-to/how_to_add_search_by_category_to_advanced_search) Could someone please upload a working sidebar on the left with category option? I’d be really thankful!

Great tip with sorting the advanced search attributes, worked a treat in 1.3.2.4, thanks!

Am I missing something? I’m using Magento 1.4. I followed the directions and nothing appears in the sidebar. Do I need to edit another file or something? Love this post if I could get it to work, thanks much.

@ Ups and Sergio, a simple sollution for this bug is to add the following line: if (is_array($value) && !isset($value['to'])) $value['to'] = ''; in app/code/coreMage/CatelogSearch/Model/Advanced.php before the line: if (is_array($value) && (isset($value['from']) || isset($value['to']))){

Same error:
Undefined index: to in app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/Model/Advanced.php on line 176
In price range when for example fill only one field.
¿?

Found solution at official forum: Change the file \app\core\mage\catalogsearch\model\advanced.php at around line 47 to setOrder by “position” rather than by “attribute_id”. Then in the attribute settings use the position field as the order you want your fields to appear in.
Then it uses the position value of attribute.

Thanks any way for extension)

Is there any way to arrange the position of the attributes, like in layered navigation? I want the price to be at the end..

Any hint? Thank You.

Looks great, I would love to have this advanced search column only appear on the advanced search results page, while the advanced search link itself still takes me to the normal advanced search window. Ill try and work this out right now

No, not without additional programming ..

The easiest way would be to configure Magento to use in search all attributes you need and then modify both templates to not display what you don’t need there.

Thanks, but I need it the option in the side block to be different form the advanced search page. Any way of doing this?

Cheers,
Bruce

There is “Use in advanced search” option for each attribute, if that’s what you mean. Navigate to Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attributes, click to edit attribute and you’ll see it.

Hi Great Tutorial and awesome blog. Is there a way just have selected search attributes?
