I couldn't find anything about this on Google.

I have to work on search functionality in a Magento site I didn't install.

For some reason the Catalog -> Search Terms menu is missing:

Magento 1.9.3.6

Any cue/help?

enter image description here

EDIT: I found out that I can reach the page from the dashboard. I have to click on any of the Top 5 Search Terms and then click on <- Back

Anyway the issue is very strange and I didn't find a solution.

  • I think the admin user from which you are logged in doesnt have sufficient ACL permissions. Try making a new admin user with all permissions and then login from that user. You can use following link to create a new admin user from database atwix.com/magento/reset-admin-password-mysql

  • @surbhiagr, thanks for your help. The user I'm using is an Administrator with all permissions. Anyway I tried what you wrote but unfortunately the problem still remains: no Catalog -> Search Terms menu

That menu point is provided by CatalogSearch core module (in app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/etc/adminhtml.xml file)

Assuming you are logged in as an administrator, so you can view all menu points, the first thing I would check would be System > Configuration > Advanced > Advanced. You can see there, searching by "Mage_CatalogSearch", if module's output for that module is enabled (it seems it has been disabled)

Other things that could explain your problem: check your project for any 3rd party module rewriting CatalogSearch functionality. Maybe some module is hiding that menu point

Last thing (not probable, as I don't think you can disable that module without breaking something), check CatalogSearch core module is enabled by browsing app/etc/modules xml files

  • thanks a lot for you answer. I checked what you wrote: Mage_CatalogSearch module's output is enabled, CatalogSearch core module is enabled in app/etc/modules. Also I looked for anything like <menu><catalog><children><search>... in 3rd party modules but I didn't find anything.

  • Lots of these, but don't think they're meaningful: 2019-05-03T07:20:27+00:00 ERR (3): Notice: Undefined index: show_notice in /app/design/frontend/default/sm_sport/template/page/sm/yt_config_inc.php on line 114 2019-05-03T07:20:28+00:00 ERR (3): Notice: Undefined index: white_border_image in /app/design/frontend/default/sm_sport/template/hideprice/list.phtml on line 52

  • Also I tried this: I made a new role specifying every single permission including Search Terms and I gave the role to my admin but nothing, even worse because other menu items missing.

  • Another try... check app/code/local/Mage folder... maybe a CatalogSearch folder there? If not, and considering the functionality is working, you can always create a local module to recover the menu point, copying the relevant code in app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/etc/adminhtml.xml
