Price Range Layered Navigation inside Quick Search (enable it)

Question

there is an option to "Apply Layered Navigation to Quick Search if Search Results are Less Than", and if you put 0, it will appear for all search results. However, when I do this and do a search in quick search, the price range layered navigation doesn't appear.

When I use the category layered navigation, the price range filters show up.

Is there a way to enable this inside the Admin Panel? Thanks.

Appearance of filters in layered navigation depends on setting for that attribute. When you edit a attribute from Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attribte, then you can see that under "Frontend Properties" there is a field "Use In Layered Navigation" with options

1. No=> Do not use in layered navigation
2. Filterable (with results) => display in layered navigation only if results are greater than 0(thats what you looking for)
3. Filterable (No results) => always display in layered navigation

And to display filter on search result page set "Use In Search Results Layered Navigation" field to yes
