Products are included in the standard search functionality.

I've read the docs, but not sure how to specify the parms:

would the below php search shop products?

i'm using: 'from-path'=>'/perch_shop_products' and 'template'=>'perch/templates/shop/products/list.html'

many thanks in advance.

tony

<?php
  $query = perch_get('q');
  perch_content_search($query, array(
    'count'=>5,
    'from-path'=>'/perch_shop_products',
    'excerpt-chars'=>300,
    'template'=>'perch/templates/shop/products/list.html'
  ));
?>

Yes, the path doesn't affect the ability to search products. Products are always searched.

The only way they'd not be is if you specified a list of apps to limit the search to.
