Catalog item contextual search

[CCZMAX1]

Hi, is contextual search only available for record producers?

I created a new record in 'Record Producer Configuration' (cxs_rp_config) and set the following fields:

record producer, search context, search variable, title.

I also created a variable in my producer called 'contextual search result',

type = Custom,

type specification  macro = cxs_rp_search, widget = contextual search - inline results

When I view the producer in the portal it works fine and gives me the contextual search for the variable I set it for.

However, I cannot see how I can achieve the same for a catalog item because their appears to be no equivalent of 'Record 'Producer Configuration' for catalog items.

To me it makes no sense having contextual search on catalog items because they are for specific things where as a producer is likely a general I have an issue with somethings.  However, I have been asked for this so need to find out if it is possible.

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.

Many thanks, Max

OOB, it only works for Record Producers.  You can change the reference qualifier on the "record producer" field for Record Producer Configuration to select regular catalog items also and setup as normal

Would you consider modifying this as bad practice? I wish this would have been OOB because then , it prevents people filling out some form just to get a request in
