The idea is when the user is clicking from the menu for example hardware, to lead him to an advanced search page where the first dropdown category is going to be prefilled with hardware category and the other fields are already displayed.

I will try to show some pictures in order to be more specific:

I would like the image 1 action to result to the image2 result

To be sure I understand correctly.

You wish to prefill the category in the advanced search page with the current category from where the user will click on the advanced search link ?

I think it is possible by adding & or ?catid={categoryId}, but I need to make some test to be sure.

Best regards.

Yes i would like to have a menu on the left of the page, showing the main categories e.g hardware
Desktops
Tablets

and when one of those menu items is clicked, the visitor to get tranfsered to an advanced search with present the specific search fields for each category. Because now the visitor gets transfered to a very general advanced search!
Is this possible somehow?

Normally, you can add this parameter 'catid=x' (with x being the id of the category) to the URL to fill the category selector with the label of the chosen category.

But this feature doesn't seems to work, so I need to make a few test and see if I can correct it.

However, you can also make a test on your server to see if it works .

Best regards.

I am sorry, it does not work. Any ideas??
