GOAL:
Why is only one level of categories returned on a search?
GOAL:
How do I get all categories and subcategories when I do a search?
FACT(s) (Environment):
EasyAsk 9.7
EasyAsk 10.1
FIX:
Beginning in EasyAsk 9.7, you can retreive all categories and subcategories when doing a search. Add the HTTP parameter &subcategories=1 or call the easyask NavigateCategory method getSubCategories(). The returned XML will contain all levels of categories and product counts in the hierarchy.
