Hi,

The title is basically just the query, which is in the script as the $q variable, and assigned to the title in this line of search.php (line 320 in the distribution):

$header["title"] = htmlentities($q,ENT_QUOTES,$config_charset);

To remove the merchant, category and brand tags, simply change this to the following:

$header["title"] = $q;

$header["title"] = str_replace("merchant:","",$header["title"]);

$header["title"] = str_replace("category:","",$header["title"]);

$header["title"] = str_replace("brand:","",$header["title"]);

Should do the trick..!

Cheers,
David.

Ah forgot about the ":" after; try adding this line as well:

$header["title"] = str_replace(":"," ",$header["title"]);
