Quick Search Settings/Results

[elfynfire]

I've setup my shop so that I can see what potentail customers have searched on. Looking through this log I see for example a customer searching for 'Baby Monitors', but in the catalogue I've called them 'Baby Monitor' and of course the customer doesn't get any results back.

Is there any way that I could associate various aliases against a product e.g. I could put Baby Monitors as another value for a product, so that when customers search it brings the results back.

Thanks for your help,

I made this change in search.pm and it is working quite well.

Find this line:
# Combine any multiple-white-spaces into single space

ABOVE this line add these lines:
$$psSearchString =~ s/es$//gio;
$$psSearchString =~ s/s$//gio;
$$psSearchString =~ s/es\b//gio;
$$psSearchString =~ s/s\b//gio;

I got fed up the the actinic search not finding products within the search facility.

I now use a perl script from http://www.xav.com/scripts/search

It took a while to set up but it works well and supplies stats too
