A search module for VirtueMart is included when you install VirtueMart in Joomla. This allows you to add a search module in Joomla that searches your VirtueMart products.

While you can find your VirtueMart products using the standard Joomla search module, using the VirtueMart Search Module gives your customers more information about your product, such as images and price details. You can find more information here on Joomla's search module vs. the VirtueMart Search Module.

  2. In the top menu, hover over Extensions and click Module Manager.
  3. Type in VM (which is short for VirtueMart) next to filter, and then click Search.
  4. One of the results will be VM - Search in Shop.
