As
of 7.5.0, you can now filter the product listing by default using the
new filter options in the product listing web settings. For more information,
please see Predefined
Online Store Filters Overview.As opposed to the regular Product Listing control, which only displays a list of products, the Full Product Listing control shows the product listing, as well as the Search control. Customers can view all products on one page, or move forward through each page to continue to view items. When the customer selects a filter from the navigation bar, the matching product choices will display within the product listing. The type of information that is displayed on the product listing for a product is based on the subsystem of the product. For more information, please see Configuring the Back Office Settings for the Product Listing Control.

As
of 7.6.0, it is NOT recommended that you include FND gifts in your product
listing. Instead, you should use the new donation
listing control.
If a web user enters search criteria to reach the product listing page, then products are sorted in order by “Relevance” to the search criteria. If the user does not enter search criteria, then products are sorted by Product ID.
If
there is no search/filter criteria specified, then all products will have
a relevance of 100. If you filter the online store by product class “BOOK”,
then the relevance is calculated by how many times the work “BOOK” appears
in a list of database fields for that product. These fields are short
name, long name, topic, sub-topic, product class, category, and sub-category.
For example, a product with product class of “BOOK” and a short name of
“Book on Social Sciences” will have a higher relevance than a product
with class of “BOOK” and a short name of “Social Sciences”. If the relevance
for the products is the same, the list is sorted alphabetically on product
name.
If the product listings are being sorted by star rating, then within each star rating, products are also be sorted by subsystem and short name.
Please see Configuring the Web Settings for the Full Product Listing Control for more information on how to drop this control onto a page on your e-Business website.

Please note that the search will results will only contain the umbrella product, not the individual products under the umbrella product, even if the umbrella product does not have the categories/sub-categories or keywords.

If a web user is logged in and is NOT a member, the system will show the MEMBER price and "Your" price. Additionally, the customer will still be allowed to add member-only products to their shopping cart. If the web user does not go through the member join process, before they check out, they will get a message informing them that they are not eligible to purchase the product.
