Defining Miscellaneous Product Categories and Keywords

The Coded Search Categories section extends the functionality of keywords by allowing products to be queried by commonality. Where multiple products of the same type exist, the type is defined as the classification or category and the products may be defined within the classification.

 

The User Defined Search Keywords section associates common terms or phrases with the active product. The goal in creating keywords is to provide a useful utility for product searches over the Web. To improve search results, keywords should be general and have a logical connection to the product for which it is defined.

To setup Categories and Keywords available through e-Business:
