Hello,
Thanks again for getting back to me.
1. May I respectfully suggest that adding XStore Brands to the Xstore Search would be a very desirable new feature request? A customization would be expensive and run the risk of being incompatible with future releases of the theme.
2. Regarding the “why”, after further exploration, we have realized that the Products that show up in the XStore search include the Brand name in the product description. Those that do not, do not. So now we know “why”.
3. For the moment, we are trying to work out a scheme to programmatically add the XStore Brand to the end of the Product description, so we don’t have to edit every one of our thousands of products to get them to show up in a search for their Brand. Could you please provide us with information as to where the Xtore Brand for a given product can be found in the data?
Thanks you for helping us work through this issue.
