Search Not Finding Product

Submitted by johnc on Wed, 2010-06-16 15:33 in

Hi David

It seems that product search doesn't return results when a search would return too many products (not sure what too many is - a percentage or something else)?

I have a fairly small dataset and want all searches to return products even when search would return significant percentage of the product database. How do I achieve this?

Cheers

John

Hello John,

For small datasets (niche sites) it's normally best to disable the Full Text index, since words appearing in greater than 50% of records are not indexed as they are considered too common.

To do this, simply change line 8 of config.advanced.php as follows;

  $config_useFullText = FALSE;

Results should then improve...

Cheers,
David.
