Customers type in the product name and get far too many search results.
For example, if the product is named XYZ and the customer types in XYZ, everything under the sun comes up except XYZ and if it does come up, it's ten pages away. Having tested this myself, I have reproduced this problem over and over.
Is there a solution to this? I need customers to be able to type in the product name and get to it fast.
How can I hone this function?
Thanx

Re: Customers Fustrated with Search Box
Or just don't search the full product descriptions, in which case it will not find results based on content in the description.

And why exactly do you think that's not an appropriate answer? Originally Posted by Design75
