Now I believe that the items that are not found on the imports they aren't really there. When you see the items on admin you will see them there, but you can't search for them, it's like they don't exist, but when you search for the others, there's no problem. Maybe this is an issue from the patch we did to number the models?
I'll say this... Identify an item that had a model # renumbered, that is not locatable in the "search" you have been doing, then go into the admin panel, edit that product, add a character to the end of the model number, save it, and tell me if that new model number is searchable. (Ideally, would like to be able to do that myself, but I can't seem to find where the problematic web address has been provided.) If the item can now be found using that model number, then the model renumbering was incomplete, if however, it still is not found, then there is other data that is incomplete to get a search result. I'm trying to look now to see what information must exist together in order to be provided as a search result.

My guess is that something else is wrong with the database... If ajeh were looking over this, I bet she could tell you straight off where to look. I know I have seen a thread in the forums that addresses something like this: product is listed in admin and store, but not found in a search.
