Focus released into the wild!

Our new search module for Merchant 5.x (and eventually for 4.x if the market is there) is finally completed and available for sale.  You’ll find it in our store here:

Focus

Focus has been in the works for quite a while.  I started on it shortly after the last conference and since then I have had to re-write it a few times to change the overall approach.   I like very well how it turned out and I’m really looking forward to seeing what people can make it do.  The layout and functionality is “Template and Token” based (like most of our modules, and Search Manager before it)  and provides for a great deal of customization.   Being able to modify the search form any way you see fit provides for an amazing degree of flexibility.

You can find a partial list of the module’s features  here.   The documentation is “mostly done” and we’re updating it every day (and hope to have it completed early next week).  The documentation on the admin interface itself is done.  You can find the documentation here.

I love to talk about Focus (well, modules in general) so if you have any particular questions ask here and I’ll get a good detailed response into the mix.
