3.6. Products Search

Your staff has better things to do than to sit around and spend lots of time searching for products at one or multiple stores to handle them. That is why we have supplied Store Manager with quick, easy and flexible search forms. If you type a few letters of Product's name or model in "Text to Search" field, the Manager will show you a list of products that match your request. You may wish to specify a smaller number of rows to display results, which speeds up the search. Unless the product you're looking for is listed in the search results, please specify the greater number of rows and Click 'Force Refresh' button. If you double click on any product in the search results, Store Manager will take you to its category page and highlight searched product in the product list.

To perform products "Search" you can use products toolbar or use the context menu.
