    Search function bringing back strange results

    Still getting used to my live site, so bear with me :-) I got some odd results yesterday with keyword searching, some products didn't come up as expected and others came up without relevance. It seems to be a) searching full text and price fields not just titles b) looking for exact phrases, not keywords Example product - Florists Satin Ribbon 2". Search term 'Florists ribbon' brings back no results Search term 'Ribbon' brings back loads of non relevant ones, including the Florists ribbon Search term ' 2" ' brings back anything that has 2 in the price. I've not tested it extensively but it seems to be unhelpful to the customer as it stands and not really worth using. Has anyone else found this to be a problem? Thanks, Anne (www.flowerhour.co.uk)

    Hi Anne, we do integrate with Google custom search, you can find more info at the link below but it might be worth a try to see if it gives better results than our standard search:

    You can find information in on this in your admin area under Site Promotion.
