In VM 1 the search worked like this:
Lets' say we have a product named : "My best red product"
If you searched for "best product" you had 1 result the "My best red product"
In VM 2 if you make the same search "best product" you come up with No results. I tried "best + product" I tried "best AND product" but no luck at all. Is there any solution to this?
The search plugin works fine (like VM1)
The search module doesnt
just a friendly pump
nobody?
So there is no easy way to make the VM search module work with AND and OR terms?

what version are you using?
VM 2.0.22b
Joomla! 2.5.14
post your url
what happens with a standard joomla template without override?
I made this module for my site.
http://www.kaizenmediaworks.com/mod-pro-search-header
It adds links to what you want based on words.
I have tried the standard template with the exact same result.
Thanks for the link, however I have quite a lot of products listed already +- 450 with many more to come, with your module I would have to specify a link for each product if I understand what it does correctly?
i dont know what else you can try. I do not have problems like this.
Which php file should I check out, i think it may be missing a "%" in between each term used to search, if I search directly in the DB and use % between each term I can find the product no matter the order it is typed in.

There's something weird going on with searches in the DB, could it be a funky version of MySQL my hosting company is using that could be causing this?
Did you add a similar worded title to your test shop and perform searches such as described by me and it worked properly? I.E. Adding a product called:
Splatterhouse (PS3)(Pwned)
and then trying to search for say:
pwned splatterhouse
as that provides me with zero matches currently.
my products are a little different than that.
I do not market by "brand & model"
The problem is that if I search for "Pants Black" only product with this exact string are thrown while in virtuemart 1 wasn't so.
So searching for "Pants Black" lists f.e. "Jocke Pants Black Light Fabric " product but not "Pants Jocke Black Light Fabric " ( not contiguos ) or Jocke Black Pants Light Fabric ( inverted order )
I have claimed about that long time ago too, but was told that was a mine problem. Now seems not only mine for a good luck :D
p.s.
My "Sorry what this discussion is about? was edited, as for some strange reasons before reply there weren't links for other pages.
