Products finders make your store more user-friendly.
Let customers find the right products easily.
Most products have just a few key characteristics, to which customers pay most attention. So it is very important in Magento to make advanced search by the key parameters as easy as possible. If you sell car parts, it should be easy to choose year of production, car make and model. If you sell phone batteries, it should be easy to search them by phone manufacturer, model or capacity. This is a standard feature for stores, which sell parts and customers are used to it, so without this functionality your site will be a lot less user friendly. In addition the product finders work well both with standard Magento layered navigation and with our Improved Navigation, only the product finders work a lot faster.Selected options are saved.
All options chosen by customers are saved. This way they can freely browse other pages of your store and find all their selections remaining when they get back to the page where they used product finders.Creation and display of product finders.
Add unlimited number of product finders.
You can create a separate product finder for each category. This way you can appropriately setup the filters for all types of products. Let's say you have two categories - cell phone accessories and camera accessories. You can create a separate filter with cell phone makes and models and camera makes and models, so customers have appropriate selection options in each category. You can display several product finder blocks on one page.Display product finders at the home page.
The module allows to add product finder blocks to the store home page. So now you will give your customers a better shopping experience right from the start. Let’s say you sell parts for cars and parts for motorcycles. Place 2 finders for both categories on home page. The customers will be happy to find what they need without deep examination of the whole range of products.Create product finder filters with unlimited number of selection options.
The extension enables you to create filters of year-make-model kind and this is just the start. You can create product finder filters from one to unlimited number of selection options. For example you can have simple filters which will allow to find cartridges by printer manufacturer and model or more complex ones with year, make, model and equipment level options.new! Show universal products regardless of what options are chosen in a finder.
For each finder you can import universal products. These products will displayed in search results for every search query. This can be very convenient when certain products, e.g. some oils or lubricants, match every selection in a product finder. Universal products are shown at the bottom of the search results page.Multiple options for data import and display.
Import values for product finder options.
You can import values for selection options of product finders and link them to appropriate products, so no 'fun' of manual entry. The import works fast and is optimized for large volumes of information. Of course, you can view the imported data to check if it is accurate and up to date.Multiple associations are possible.
Any number of products can be assigned to each option. For example you can have multiple products assigned to each year, make and model.Ranges for numeric values.
To simplify the import of data you can specify ranges for numeric options. E.g. if you specify years 1990-2012, the extension will add the product to all years starting from 1990 till 2012. This way you will have just one line in csv file instead of 23.Ascending and descending sorting options for dropdown values.
You can select ascending or descending sorting for each product finder option. Text values will be sorted by alphabet, numeric values by numeric order.new! It is possible to delete and create individual records for finders.
You won't have to export a new .csv file just to remove or add a few products to the finder. You can delete and add individual products with their options right on the finder page in admin panel.Visualization and performance.
Flexible design.
Optimized for large volumes of data.
The extension performance has been optimized, so it can easily cope with large catalogs of 10000 products and more. We use AJAX to load options for better performance. Also the data stored in separate tables, not in Magento attributes, for quick access.Custom links to search results pages.
For each product finder you can specify url of the page, to which customers are redirected after doing a search.Additional information.

Great extension. Works very quickly. I currently have about 100,000 applications loaded, and it hasn't hiccuped once.Overall extension rating
Suggestions for the next version. Check box type selector in products list for search and mass delete. Ability to import through "add a record" using range (2001-2004). Include option on finder block, that will allow customer to filter and display results from all finders. Add ability to output finder DB information to item text area attribute, or other method to allow display on items detail page, and be included within search.

Works brilliantly. If I had any criticisms they would be:Overall extension rating
1)If you have 3 dropdowns, all 3 must be filled by the customer before they can search. It would be nice to have the option to select 1 or 2 of the dropdowns to offer a broader search.
2)The price advertised is not including VAT in the UK. The price including VAT is $96. Still worth the money though, good product.
