MikkelRicky CatalogSearch compatibility with Magento 1.5.x.x / 1.6.x.x. / 1.7.x.x / 1.8.x.x

Mikkel Ricky Catalog Search is a Magento extension makes it possible to give priority to select attributes when searching product catalog. The assigned priorities are used to make the select attributes have more weight when computing product relevance.

Unfortunately this  extension is not compatible with Magento versions since 1.4.2.0, this make impossible to run the catalogsearch fulltext indexing which gives you such an error:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function allowAdvancedIndex() on a non-object in /public_html/app/code/core/Mage/CatalogSearch/Model/Resource/Fulltext.php on line 683

So we decided for a client request to look into it and make it compatible with recent Magento versions like: 1.8.1.0 / 1.7.0.2 / 1.6.2.0 / 1.5.1.0 and of course these descendant versions.

If you have a recent Magento version and you would like to install the Mikkel Ricky Catalog Search module then we can fix the issue with that module. 
Also if you upgrade your old version of Magento like 1.4.2.0 (or descendant) the fix will help you to use Mikkel Ricky Catalog Search extension with the upgraded version of Magento.
