low_search_category not displaying via shortcuts based queries

James Nowland 4 Nov 2014 02:14 problem, complete

There seems to be an issue with how low search is processing "shortcuts" in forms using {low_search_category:cat_tag}.

What we are running:
Expression Engine: v2.7.3
Low Search: 3.2.0

This was previously working in 3.0.4 version of Low Search(we had to update for to get access to a new feature). The exact same search still works with a "query" but when the same query is passed as a shortcut it's not displaying the categories.

Due to us being on 2.7.3 we **can't** use the new syntax.

See code below:

{exp:low_search:form
query="{segment_3}"
shortcut="{segment_3}"
form_class="js-productSearchForm"
}

Products Cat: {low_search_category:product},
{exp:channel:categories
category_group="4"
style="linear"
show_empty="no"
}

{category_name}

{/exp:channel:categories}

{/exp:low_search:form}
