How does the compare?

Submitted by John12 on Fri, 2007-01-19 12:57 in

When using search, I assume comparing Product Name without using categories?

When browsing categories, I assume comparing Product Name within that category?

Hi John,

That's correct - comparison is entirely based upon product name. This is achieved by using "GROUP BY name" on the SQL; whatever else you are searching by (category, brand etc.)

Cheeers,
David.

I understand "search".

But I am not sure of browsing. Supppose I click on the category "X". I get all the "X" products. But a product with the same name is listed in category "Y" for some reason. Will there be a comparison although there are listed in different categories.

For "search" the whole database will be searched, but for browsing is this the same, or is the comparison only between the products in the same category?

I know I can combine categories, but that is not the issue.

Ah sorry, I understand your question now.

Yes - when browsing a category, comparison is only between products of the same name in the same category. When searching, all products of the same name are compared.

Cheers,
David.
