[RESOLVED]RE: Enhanced Search Functionality

[Spiff-O-Matic]

I tried searching "smart robin" to get to this item (http://www.shmax.com/product_details/12151/smartrobin), but no results showed. I had to search "smartrobin". Should the new search functionality cover things like missing or additional spaces in search terms?

Hmm, yes, I guess I'll have to research how to handle spaces. Did this sort of thing work in the old system?

I'm not sure.

How's this?

So now we can match keywords separated by spaces with space-less content (eg. "side swipe" = "sideswipe"), but matching space-less content will not match the version with spaces (eg. "sideswipe" != "side swipe"). This seems to agree with the way Google does things, so hopefully it will do. I do plan on adding a "keywords" field to the product records for alternate search terms, which we could use to add space'ed versions of names as each case may warrant.

Looks good. Thanks Shmaxy!
