Front page

[gail]

Is it possible on v7 to make the front page into a search page i.e products in sections to click onto.

As in this example http://www.eurocarparts.com/ or is this outwith the scope of v7?

You could place some fragments on the page and add some images and links in them.

If you choose a text only fragment you can then add code such as this into the description:

!!<
<a href="mylinkpage.html" border="0"><img src="myimage.jpg"></a>
>!!

Or possibly a .htaccess directive that redirects from /index.html to /acatalog/index.html. Google for tutorials on htaccess.

In V7: View/Search Settings, Search Options tab, there is a option called 'Use Searching as the Primary Interface to Catalog'
Maybe this is what you're looking for?
