I am sure this has been addressed previously (I know I have spent some time looking for the answer).

I am having a strange problem with the search bar on my site (www.colourpatch.com.au)

For example:
If I type in 'cadets' it brings up 150 odd results (none of which have the word cadet in them).
If however I type in 'Australian army cadets' it brings up the correct number of results.
'army cadets' brings up the same 150 wrong entries.....

I went into one of the products that had cadet in the product description and added xxx into the field - and if I search xxx it finds it without an issue but not the word cadet that is in the same text field!!

Any ideas why certain words may not be found on their own???
