How to tighten search results?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Ok so i am basically on the final stages of my website, however, i noticed a few little problems that make the results not so refined.

 

Example:

 

If I type in the search "Renault 19", it will show parts for the Renault 19, but also show parts for the Renault Clio 1.9. Its also the same case for "Renault Clio  1.8, as it will pick up Renault Clio 182BHP.

 

Any way how to refine the search to dead on results?

 

Regards

It's also a reflection of the fact that PS strips out punctuation and other characters from search terms and the search words it creates. So 1.8 becomes 18 and if (as would seem to be the case) you have a minimum search word length of 2, it will return any products with associated search words beginning with '18' (and 'Renault').

If the minimum had been 3, the '18' would be excluded and any products with 'Renault' would be returned.

Have a look at this thread if you're after exact matching:
