Search Spaces

I am using Power Store and when a search is entered it works unless you have a product that contains two words. if I were to search for Time Clocks the url will contain Time+Clocks which returns time, clocks and not Time Clocks where in Power Store can I edit to get this correct that the + could be an _ or "" thanks.

use double quotes around the search term:
"Time Clocks"

By the way the image verification is not working in any browser for apple computers I had to locate a pc to post this reply.

By Double quotes do you mean I have to tell customers on my site if your looking for time clocks please use "" if so this is crap. If you mean the code it does already contain "" and it does not seem to work or do I need to do """". If so what file should I be editing the product_results.php or helperPHP.php.

Thanks

I have updated your account to not require image verification.

This is the way all searches work, even Google.

If you search for:
Time Clocks

it looks for all records where the ProductID, ProductSKU, ProductName, "ProductCartDesc", ProductShortDesc, ProductLongDesc columns contains Time OR Clocks.


if you search for "Time Clocks" it searches for the String "Time Clocks".

This is a very common way for searches to work.

So if in google I type in gt400 or gt 400 it returns the same or similar results, but if I type gt400 or gt 400 in power store it will return numeric first and then on page 14 you will find the product containing gt 400 how do I stop this because in google if you type gt 400 or "gt 400" you get the same result. But in power store it will return different results not anything on the web containing 400 and then gt. Thanks

results form a Data Base search are a bit different than from a site search like Google.

The Database search of power store uses the Product Name column for ordering, in Ascending order.

if you type:
gt 400

it is searching for gt OR 400

The results will be returned in ascending order, meaning numeric first, then Alphabetically from A - Z

if you type:
"gt 400"

with quotes it will search the literal string "gt 400" and the results will be displayed alphabetily in ascending order by the Product Name column.


If you wanted to force quotes around the search, you could add the following code at line 1 of the product results page:

<?php if(isset($_GET["S_ProductName"])) $_GET["S_ProductName"] = '"'.$_GET["S_ProductName"].'"'; ?>
