How to use Search fields?

By default, all the criteria of product attributes including Product Title, Product Type, Vendor, Tag, Product options, SKU, and Barcode are searchable.

It is possible to turn off this default setting so the customers are unable to search by some specific attributes.

For example, you would like to turn on search by description and prioritize it higher than search by vendor.

Instruction

1
Go to Seach menu, select Search settings, select Search fields tab. Turn on the Description switch. Click on its grip to drag and drop it above the Vendor switch.
2
Click Save Settings.

To reset the search fields to their original statuses and positions, select Reset to default.
