Magento – Configurable Products Not Showing in Search or Catalog

configurable-productmagento-1.9simple-product

I am using Magento 1.9.0.1. I have set up a Configurable Product and created several associated products using the quick simple product creation. The simple products are all "enabled" and "not visible individually" . I have inventory showing "in stock" with a quantity for all simple products.

Yet the configurable product is not visible in my catalog or in search.

Ideas what I am missing???
Checked the manual, etc. and everything seems to be setup correctly.

edit

Within the configurable product, inside the associated products tab, Should the simple products be listed at the bottom?

For some reason, I am not showing any item skus and the search always comes up "blank" even though I search for a SKU that is available.

In your configurable product, there is an attribute with name Visibility. You need to set it to Catalog, Search. This would make your product visible in search. You may probably forgot to do it.

  1. So go to Catalog > Manage Products.

  2. Select the configurable product. Under General tab, set Visibility to Catalog, Search.

  3. Make sure product is assigned with current store and website.(Go to websites and categories tabs to do this).

  4. Clear all cache and

  5. Reload the page and then search.
