When you use the CatalogSearch class to search the catalog items in a virtual catalog on a computer that is running Microsoft Commerce Server 2009, one of the following issues may occur:
- If you set the SortProperty property of the SearchOptions property for this search to DisplayName or to Name, the search fails. Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following:invalid column name 'DisplayName'
- If the virtual catalog contains two items that meet the following conditions, only the first item in the virtual catalog is returned:
- Both items are of the same object identifier (also known as OID) value.
- One item is from the base catalog, and the other item is from a virtual category that is created in the virtual catalog.
- When you set the SortProperty property of the SearchOptions property to cy_list_price, the search result has an incorrect sort order if the price is overwritten in the virtual catalog.
- When you search the virtual catalog and a base catalog in one request, the search may fail and generate an error. Additionally, an exception of type Microsoft.CommerceServer.Catalog.CatalogDatabaseException occurs.
- When the virtual catalog contains items from different base catalogs, and when these items have the same object identifier value, only the first item in the first base catalog is returned.
