keywords facet gone?

[AcidRaZor]

I'm testing a new site based off of some old code I had and noticed that getFacet("keyword") returns nothing in all instances, where previously it did return results, for example when you search for "skullcandy lowrider headphones"

I've double checked this on my current live sites that made use of this and saw the same thing with them. Did you guys get rid of the facet?

We did. You should use the productId or catalogId facet in its place.

[AcidRaZor]

ah I see, thanks

It wasn't an accurate way to do the facets on that field, and it didn't stay consistent across updates to the catalog. The catalogId is always the same, and gives you an exact product from an exact merchant. The productId on the other hand gives you an exact product, but it can be from multiple merchants. Ideal for product price comparisons

[AcidRaZor]

Yup. I was originally using the keyword facet to determine if there is more than 1 product with the same name (other than filtering them myself) and then instead of "Visit Store" I use "Compare Prices"

Was wondering why the hell my stuff didn't work... did you guys announce this sometime? I'm daft most of the times so might have read it but never gave it an afterthought about how it impacts my stuff ATM

[prosperent brian]

Yeah, we announced that it would be deprecated a few months before we actually deprecated it. Been gone for a few months now

Man, I must have been in a coma
