Hi
Is there anyway to improve the quality of the search results in PT using WP plugin? The results I am getting at the moment are very poor. For example, for the search term 'memo board' I am getting hundreds of beds in the results with names such as 'Rest Assured Andria 2000 Pocket Memory Divan Bed, Double, 2 Drawers, Platform Base (Firmer Feel), Light Grey, Matching Paris Headboard' I am guessing that it is matching on the board word, but still not good.
I have set $config_useFullText to False. If i try it with True, then the results are even worse!!
Any suggestions welcome, please.
Hi Carl,
In general, Full Text sorted by relevance should yeild the best results. I wonder if you could email me your latest pto.php and pto_search.php, and at the same time set $config_useFullText (plugin setting) back to True, and include in your email a couple of example results, plus links to the products that should logically be ranked higher. There are a number of fine tuning methods I've worked out over the years that might help...
Cheers,
David.
