I've got an item in my shop called "Another Night at Scottie's". Anybody have any idea why I can't pull it up (from the actual shop page) if I include "another" in my search terms? I don't include "Scottie's" because I know the apostrophe causes a problem.

Another odd one is "The Trees Have Eyes". I can't pull it up by "the trees", "trees have" or "have eyes". However, "trees eyes" pulls it up.

Are we only allowing nouns now? (haha)

I too have run into things not coming up in my store search or on the ecrater.com search.

Have you contacted them? Curious to know what has changed.

Well, that was fast! Here's Dimitri's response:

Hello:

I updated the search. Now as you can see it's much faster. (at least 10
times faster). The new algorithm ignores some generic words like "have",
"another", "at", "the".

I am still tweaking some things though ... the problem with your searches will
be resolved soon.


regards,

Dimitri
