    Default Products search by tag or something like that....

    A little problem with "search" when using italian language.

    We have the word ELMETTO (that's italian for HELMET) that's also a category name, and the word ELMETTI (that's italian for HELMETS) that's the name of a single product in such a category.

    By searching "elmetto", Zen Cart shows flawlessly every helmet in the products listing.

    Unfortunately I've noticed a lot of customers searching for "elmetti", and thus finding nothing at all.

    Is it possible to use some kind of tagging on categories or products to allow succesfull searches in cases like that?

    Already tried with Meta Tags...but doesn't work.

    One way to do this is to add the word "elmetti" to each "elmetto" PRODUCT DESCRIPTION text.

    Do so in a short sentence that you tag to the bottom of each helmet product's description text.

    You could also customize the Meta Tags and add the variations to the Keywords ...

    My test with meta tags failed because of wrong keywords.....I used elmetto,elmetto instead of elmetto,elmetti ;-)

    Well, tomorrow (I'm tired now and I don't want risk anymore today) I'll build up a query to automagically update meta tags for those products.

    Thanks for your support

    Finally I solved that using Search Helper addon (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=856)
