Advanced search and fitment guides

Infor Consulting Services can customize a widget to connect to a third-party fitment guide. A fitment guide is used to recommend parts or accessories for an item. For example, a tire fitment guide lists the tire sizes that are compatible with a make and model of car.

Advanced search API parameters

The GET/items and GET/facets endpoints in the search API support these parameters for advanced search:
  • advancedSearch1
  • advancedSearch2
  • advancedSearchGroup

You can use these parameters to search for items that have multiple attribute values, such as vehicle make, model, and year.

Search results

Depending on how the parameters are populated, either a simple or staggered search result is returned. This table shows the types of results that are returned based on the parameters that are used in the search:
Parameters used in search Result type
A value is specified in the advancedSearch1 parameter, or the same value is specified in both advancedSearch1 and advancedSearch2. Simple. Results that match the value are returned.
Different values are specified in the advancedSearch1 and advancedSearch2 parameters. Simple. Results that match the value in advancedSearch1 or advancedSearch2 are returned.
Different values are specified in the advancedSearch1 and advancedSearch2 parameters. A value is also specified in the advancedSearchGroup parameter. Staggered. A result from advancedSearch1 is paired with a result from advancedSearch2 when each matches the criteria specified in the advancedSearchGroup parameter.

Staggered search results in the Product List widget

When a staggered search result is displayed in the Product List widget, each item in the pair is displayed in the same product card. Users can specify quantities for both items and add them to the cart. If validation features are enabled, then the quantities are validated. The thumbnail image from the first item in the result is displayed.

The sort order of the results is always by advancedSearchGroup in ascending order.

When users add products to the Product Compare Sticky Bar widget, the products are added individually. If one of the products in the pair has already been added to the comparison, it is not added again.

These limitations apply to staggered search results:
  • Parent style items, machines, and CQP items are not included in staggered search results.
  • Ribbons and swatches are not supported.
