Using stems in Search

Postby skymill » Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:29 am

I see how *stems* work in the Help examples, like "table would match stable" and "table would match tables".

But what if the search term is tables and the products all say table? For example, people would likely search for "coffee tables" or "dining tables" but each product listed only says "xyz coffee table" (singular), etc.

I am not getting any results and can't seem to find a workaround.

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you have ShopSite Pro, enter the plurals in the "Search Keywords" section under "Edit Product Info" for each product. These keywords are only used by ShopSite when customers use the search feature.

Thank you for the suggestion -- I had missed that field. Since I have over 2,000 products, I had created some queries to my database which generated the ShopSite import file. So I will do some string replacements when I now generate the "Search Keywords" field and that should work out well. Thanks again.
