Hi. When installing the frontend and theme, I cannot configure the menu as in the demo. I must have missed something. Demo ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/1/149e52715be6bc7a7c558fcb2d696ddc72d871f0.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/a/a36d5ba8818c9df90a8823faecaca1ce218e8382.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/2/277cec62792a53a6e9a6a9f572e44d45ead7afdd.png) My demo ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/8/832ab6eb2f81b81a28ff09bc9ca1f0c4e86889de.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/6/62c7979b455911d8957d032fcc73142a27aee68f.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/virtocommerce/original/2X/1/1d1a68431da15ab020cd3362a66dd88ed629fadd.png) As you can see, the categories are not displayed after installing the demo data. I tried installing different versions, the result is the same ---

Hi, volanar! We use Link lists in the theme. That’s why you should create lists 1. Navigate to the admin site: Admin \> Content \> select your store \> Link lists. 2. Click the “Add” button. 3. Create a list with the name “catalog-menu.” 4. Create a link list for subcategories. For more detailed steps, you can refer to the documentation here: [Managing Link Lists](https://docs.virtocommerce.org/new/user_docs/content/managing-linklists/) Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance! ---

Thanks for the support. Help me solve another issue. Where can I enable the setting for quick search? It doesn’t work by default ---

Hi @volanar ! This feature should work out-of-the-box without any configuration. Do you have any errors in web developer console? ---

In platform options, so it depends on your deployment. If you run it from binaries or sourсe code, you can change appsettings.json: [vc-platform/src/VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web/appsettings.json at 916ccfbbab68cd7b2cd4994c5a358d684ad6ab81 · VirtoCommerce/vc-platform · GitHub](https://github.com/VirtoCommerce/vc-platform/blob/916ccfbbab68cd7b2cd4994c5a358d684ad6ab81/src/VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web/appsettings.json#L160) or set environment variable Search:ContentFullTextSearchEnabled in your system. If you use Virto Cloud, you need to add Search\_\_ContentFullTextSearchEnabled to platform.config: [vc-deploy-dev/infra/environments.yml at dd94585d7f7430ad51c8d79be8cf7e1ccc691479 · VirtoCommerce/vc-deploy-dev · GitHub](https://github.com/VirtoCommerce/vc-deploy-dev/blob/dd94585d7f7430ad51c8d79be8cf7e1ccc691479/infra/environments.yml#L26) P.S. I created an issue in internal tracking system so theme shouldn’t fail if static content (Page Builder) pages ain’t indexed. This feature disability shoudn’t affect search suggestions for products and categories. ---

Thanks, it helped. My appsetting.json was incomplete
