Boolean Mode and Description

Submitted by atlanta1 on Fri, 2008-09-19 16:13 in Price Tapestry

I'm currently running Boolean Mode for search on my site and it really works great.

However, I'm trying to find away of modifying it slightly to search on description instead of product name as my descriptions more often than not contain the product name and I can add further keywords using the search and replace function.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It should be straight forward to add a full text index to the description. There are instructions for making the search apply to both product name AND description in the following thread:

However, if you want to make it description only; you would need to run the following index creation SQL in place of that described in the thread:

CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX description ON products (description);

...and similarly, in search.php, search & replace:

MATCH name

...with:

MATCH description

Cheers,
David.
