osCommerce:: Fixed category views
There was a programming error in the category view in the body section of the default.php. Apparently, the original programmer made a mistake somewhere around the “if product_status = '1'” code.

The fix had to be made both on the English and Japanese version of /includes/language/lingo/default.php

osCommerce:: Search by Kana
One of the requests from our staff was to be able to search the site using hira-gana and kata-kana, because of interchangable kanji spellings.

In December of 2005, we've added a feature to the shop, where users can search a product by keywords. These keywords are not visible on the catalog site, but is only visible from the admin back end.

In essence, what we did was add an “keyword” field to the “products” table, and added a field in the products' edit info form in the admin back end.
