Question:  I am using the cart module as a product catalogue only so I need the following:
 
    - No shopping cart
 
    - No prices
 
Also, I need a customisable search facility that would allow the user to search multiple categories with check boxes for the categories.
Does Smith Cart support this?
Answer:  Yes, Smith Cart fully supports product catalog only site.  In the cart admin settings it has the following settings that allow you to configure your store as a product catalog only:
 
    - Hide Price 
 
    - Hide Quantity 
 
    - Hide Shipping 
 
    - Hide Sub Total Lines 
 
    - Hide Add To Cart 
 
    - Add To Cart Requires Login
 
Regarding the search the cart has a pretty flexible search ability it will allow you to do wild card searches by keyword across all categories or within a single category it doesn’t have a checkbox list of categories where you can limit the search to only 2 categories.
