Guest BasicX Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I'm using 3.0.10. The search doesn't do what I need. Basically I need it to: a) find items based more on title than description so it doesn't bring up just about everything for every search (most important) We have items whose names can be easily misspelled (health related stuff, some with strange brand names). I need it so, if someone searches with a word like the real one, it will either bring up the items it would have using the real word or at least do what Google does and bring up a "did you mean [this word]?" As for the duplicate results. We have a lot of products in multiple categories. If we search for one of them it brings it up as many times as it is in a category - if it's in three categories, in search it lists the same item three times. If we put it on sale, it will show multiple times on that page as well. It doesn't look very good. Can anyone help me with these? Thanks!

vokf Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The mis-spelt names should be fixable, but not easily! There is a php (and mySQL) function called SOUNDEX(), which is kinda what your after (google soundex() for more info) Best ask in the 3rd party mods forum.

Guest BasicX Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Going to 3rd party mods, I can't find how to ask. Their forum is now read-only. Is there a new place to search for these things? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
