Set up a search favorite

A search favorite allows you to group a particular set of search parameters. Learn more

This chapter explains how to set up a search favorite using the example of a search favorite that captures all the products from the primary taxonomy category “Toaster” where the value of the attribute “Item description (ItemDesc)” contains the word “Breadroaster” on any locale level and whom the workbox “Maintain texts” is assigned to. The latter is an indicator that texts still need to be maintained for the respective products.

Note
