    • Can restrict search to products in a given category; this makes it possible to only have the products for the active catalog show up in keyword search results and other effects
    • Can search in a category and include all child categories
    • Can include multiple categories in the search to get a cross section of products in the categories, ie the products must be in all categories
  • Can restrict search to products with a given feature applied
  • Search results are ordered by default based on keyword weights determined during indexing, other orderings are supported as well
  • When search results are presented all constraints are listed that were used in the search and any one can be removed

  • For products with variants (aka "virtual" products) shows drop downs for each feature type that is associated as a selectable feature; to handle available feature combinations shows all avilable in the first drop down, and each additional one is populated when a selection in a previous drop-down has been chosen
  • For products with variants can display small images for each of the features of the first selectable feature type; a useful application of this is having the color be the first selectable feature type and having small images for each different color; when large images are associated with the variant products the large image will change as corresponding features are selected in the drop-down(s)
