Include categories in collection

Kevin Barr 12 Nov 2012 17:51 question, complete

I'm working on a clothing store and I have some items that do not have the keyword anywhere in the description but are included in a particular category. For example, if I have a dress that did not have "dress" in the title or description but is categorized under the category "dresses" I'd want it so display in the results. Any way to accomplish this with Low Search?

    Sorry, Low Search currently only supports category IDs to filter entries by. EE lacks certain extension hooks to make searching by category names fool proof, which is why it isn't added to Low Search as of yet.

    Thanks Low, I understand. We can mitigate this issue by possible adding a custom field for keywords, or by simply making sure the keywords we want to target are in the content.
