Creating catalogs using filters
You can create individual user catalogs by defining a filter. When you apply the filter a user catalog is created with all products that correspond to the search criteria that you have defined in the filter. You can create several filters and use as many filters as you want to create a catalog.
Note: The filter works on the basis of a full-text index. If you have not created a full-text index, you cannot use the filter.
