Jonathan was a big help to me with this question I had of adding Model to the search - he suggested adding:

Code: Select all

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    IN:
    /catalog/controller/product/search.php

    REPLACE:
    'name'        => $result['name'],

    WITH:
    'name'        => $result['name'] . ' (' . $result['model'] . ')',
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which worked great (after clearing the cache by clicking on Extensions/Modifications/Refresh (button upper right).

However I still wanted a wee bit more - I wanted there to always be a new line, and I wanted the name of the field to be Part # so I modified the line to read:

Code: Select all

	'name'        => $result['name'] . ' <br>(Part #' . $result['model'] . ')',

The <br> is HTML for Start On A New Line, and putting Part # at that point produces a result like this:

Then I replaced the similar original line ( 'name' => $result['name'],) with the above line in /catalog/controller/product/category.php - so now my products have their part number more visible to the customer which I hope helps them find the parts they need more easily.

So, thanks to Jonathan for steering me in the right direction!
