Every since November my search bar does not allow me to search for a category. I have to know the exact item number! I have thousands of items with non-desciptive names, just the product number. For example, my hoopskirts have product names like MT19375. When I want to sell one I would open the hoopskirt folder and then pick the correct version from the pictures. Now that I can't search an easy to remember category name I have to either know the product name, scroll down to the category in my list (remember: thousands of items with a long list of different categories), or have a shortcut button on the register.
You would think that a short cut button is an easy fix, and it is when I'm at the register in my brick and mortar. The problem comes when I have a booth at an event. The app only has very minimal space for shortcuts and I have way too many items. Searching category names was simple and easy! Why remove it?
@Sithkazar interesting, i notices that too, you can search for "categories" that will take you to all your categories and within there you can search for your particular category name, but gloably it doesn't look like it searches for a particular category.
Square AI can search for different categories, but it would depend on what you're trying to do. Hope this was helpeful
