Feature Pack 8: The Madisons store is deprecated. Most features demonstrated in the Madisons store are available in the Aurora store.

Product Fast Finder

The product fast finder combines catalog browsing with client-side filtering capabilities on a single page, enabling customers to easily find products.

The product results are dynamically filtered and displayed on the page as the customer modifies their filter options. The customer can filter options such as the brand names, features, and price range. The category must contain items that have common feature attributes and different brands for accurate filtering results. The product fast finder page consists of the product pictures, names and prices. Products can be added to the shopping cart or compare view without leaving the product fast finder page. Additional features of the page include quick info pop ups, serving as hover help for each product, and the ability to add products to the wish list.

The first page of results are initially loaded while subsequent results are loaded asynchronously in groups of 250 to improve performance.
