Question

Currently, when one searches for an item, the quick search also brings up any bundles that contain items that fit the search criteria. How would I stop this?

A solution that filters out all bundled items from search results all together would be fine too.

UPDATE

I don’t want the items to show in either the catalogue or search, but am using them as upsell items. This seems to leave two options:

1. I could amend the search results controller to omit bundled items (the method I was asking about), or
2. I could change the Upsell.php script to include “Don’t show individually” items.

The second is perhaps easier? Currently the filter applied is:

Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($this->_itemCollection);

How would I change this so it shows don’t show individually items?

Apologies for the incomplete initial question.

Second Update:

Ok, I’ve added

->setVisibility(null)

and it already has

->addStoreFilter()

But there is no change.

Essentially, if I don’t have either of:

Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInCatalogFilterToCollection($this->_itemCollection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($this->_itemCollection);

Then I get the following error:

LEFT JOIN catalog_product_link_attribute_int AS link_attribute_position_int ON link_attribute_position_int.link_id = links

I’ve also tried the following, but get the error:

Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addSaleableFilterToCollection($this->_itemCollection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($this->_itemCollection);

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I solved it by modifying the custom module so that I didn’t need to worry about this. It may be of some use as it involved using:

$collection->addAttributeToFilter('type_id', array('neq' => 'bundle'));

Which just excludes all bundle items from a collection.
