Search ignores the word 'test'
Odd bug here - I have a dummy set of products named 'Test Product' or 'Tester Product'.
When searching for the word 'test' or 'tester' the search returns no product pages.
If I name the products 'Sample Product' or 'Sampler Product' and search for 'sample'. The search returns the product pages OK.
Why does it ignore the word 'test'?
If you have lots of products named test, it will be ignored as a common word. Its just MySQL fulltext search, not something Perch is doing or that we can change.
Thanks Rachel, that makes sense.
All but a handful of the products had been deleted but they still have records in the DB which figures.
Are deleted products purged after a certain time period?
No, deleted products are kept as deleted products. Without them your sales reporting will go up the spout.
