Hello,

I need the best advice on how to return all the products that share a common keyword(s).

So, if I have the anchor text 'Blue widgets' - what would the underlying URL be which would return all the products in my store relating to 'Blue widgets'?

Any ideas, suggestions on how people are doing this now....?

Regards

Marcus

marcus - I don't understand your question, and I've reread it now a bunch of times. Could you perhaps take a shot at rephrasing it, giving us a much more precise picture of the situation.

Also, it might be better in future to avoid insisting on "guru's only!" There are a lot of smart people in here, yet I'm not sure all of them think of themselves as guru's (or want to be referred to that way, even if they are).

Thats easy marcus, jsut send them to a search result page:

e.g.
advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=blue widgets

I do this for all of my PPC campaigns, instead of sending visitors to a specific product page, I send them to an advanced search result page which returns a wider spectrum of products directly related to their search keyword.

if you want to change the look and feel of this result page, just duplicate and rename the file advanced_search.php and start tweaking.

Alternately you can restructure the mySQl queries, but I assume that if you could do that, you wouldn't be asking this question....

I'll sticky you a link to my site, If tweaked the hell out of OSC, you may see some things you like there.
