Allowing specific products to be seen by Guest users, but not allowing them to be added to Cart.
A TOTECS customer would like to restrict Guest users from adding specific products to the Cart, but still allow them to view the specific product and their prices. I have set up a new Inventory Role, to match the Default Inventory Role and added Item Overrides for each product code with, Allow for View Product, and Deny for Add Product, Dropship Product and Product Backorder Check. The override Conditions used Where/Product/Item Id/Equals/Value (Value is substitued with product code). The new Inventory Role was Saved, Generate Inventory Permissions was run and the Assign User(s) to Roles used to assign the new Inventory Role to the {GUEST} user. However, the product codes listed in the overrides can still be added to Cart. Have I missed a step in the process?

Search operators to assist customers getting accurate results when using the Product Search Form (using search profiles) area
Hey online super heroes, I'm writing up some search tips on our website and I was wondering if there are any search operators that customers can use to get more accurate results when using the Product Search Form (using search profiles) area. For example, operators like AND, OR, NOT, etc. So far all I have is: If you enter the term brake fluid and hit search, you will get lots of results for every product that contains the word brake OR fluid. If you enter the term "brake fluid" with the quotation marks and hit search, you will only get results with products that contain both the words brake AND fluid. It's a rough start, but it would be great to know if there were any other tips I could give them, to help them get the most out of the Totecs platform. Thanks, Andy
