Hi Everyone,
I have a fun brain puzzle I am trying to figure out that I hope someone can help me with.
We have a bunch of pinball machine parts on our website that are generic parts that go on multiple machines. We would like to have a list of compatible machines in the description of each of these products. So I created a custom field for our products that is a checkbox for "Include X game list". When this is checked, I wrote some template code in the product page that shows the specific content section which lists out the compatible games. This works great, because I can modify the content section in one place and it changes for all applicable products. The big issue here is that this content section on each of the products is not searchable.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this content section searchable?
The stuff I have thought of already would be to make the system update a custom field with the content section data and then I can select this in the searchable fields, but I don't have a clue how to do this or if it is even possible. I then thought of a work around that if the categories for the product were searched, this would not be a problem because all of the game categories have these parts in them.
I am honestly stuck here. I may have to go back to hard coding this game list into the description.
Thank you so much!
