I installed the module product_manufacturer that allows for each product to assign a manufacturer company. At the same time this module also allows to input some Attribute and Value in a table. I it because I could add different fields for each product, but the problem is that I can't type:

- [Search Attribute: Material] XX33

On the other side there's the multi-variant option that I don't like that much because you need the Sales module to create "templates" and later the name of the product also has the variants, and the variants are also displayed in the list view, too much.

Is there any other option that I'm missing besides these 2?
