Hi,
I have finally got the site live with one feed added to do some testing with, but I have noticed a small problem.
example here: http://www.buyzaar.co.uk/search.php?q=car
Here is have searched for "car"
and the search results have returned other words that have th 'car' string in them.
Is there a way around this?
Hi Andy,
That's normal, and is happenning because "car" is only 3 letters, and for all queries below 3 letters a very basic search method is used instead of the full text index.
This basic method, which searches for the string contained anywhere within the product name (ignoring spaces) is considered to be the best all-round option for short queries. To find car on it's own, you would need to re-configure MySQL to support full text indexing on words of less than 4 characters - however this normally comes with a significant performance hit.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
