Currently when you do a search with store manager, it searches within the entire database.

It would be extremely beneficial if there was an option to search within a specific category. I have had a few scenarios where I would like to either sort products within a category or update attributes, but the entire store is returned in the search result.

Example: A store selling appliances will have categories like: Kitchen and Laundry Room. Suppose I only want to find the white appliances ONLY in the kitchen category so that I can manage the attributes.

Fantastic product, I have been using it for 3 years and it has been an invaluable tool.

By the way: why don't you use drop down filter to select products from category ?

The problem is that I cannot use a filter for a specific search within a category.

If I use a filter for example color "blue" , all products in the entire store with the word "blue" will be returned.

I want to use the filter to search for color "blue" in specific category "t-shirts"

Thanks Sergiy!

ok. I see.
Give me your full backup of store - I'll try to show how to filter necessary column. :-)
or, try to use our new feature in next Release - you'll be able to include new Attribute Column
see screenshot
P.S. please wait for some days before official Release.

1) When will this be available

2) Is 'In Stock' / 'Out of Stock' one of the available fields to add?

Currently it seems to be missing, 'Status' is just Enabled or Disabled

If this is not part of the release, I need to submit a new request, as this is most likely a show-stopper for my client.

Thank you.

In new Release of Store Manager you'll find Attribute Window.
This window helps you to add Attributes from your Store to Product Grid.
If you don't have those attributes in your store - you'll be not able to add new fields in Product Grid to filter or view.
