Merchants who make use of the StoreFront Search Engine in their web stores may at times wish to change the way that the results of a search are organized. By default, the search results are ordered by Product ID in descending order.
To change the criteria the search results are organized by, open search_results.asp ( this file is located in the root of the web) in NotePad. Around line 95 are the following lines:
& "AND ((" & CATEGORY & ") AND (" & MANUFACTURER & ")) " _
& "AND (INVSWITCH = '1' AND INV <> '0' OR INVSWITCH = '0')) " _
& "ORDER BY PRODUCT_ID DESC "
End If
To order the search results by Product ID ascending, change this line as follows:
& "ORDER BY PRODUCT_ID ASC"
Search results can also be organized by other criteria than the product ID, such as product Description. To order the search results by the product Description, change this line as follows:
& "ORDER BY DESCRIPTION DESC "
As with any customization, test as you proceed and make backups of your files.
