Virtuemart Product Search shows not related products

[tygo]

Hello,

I have the problem, that the (more or less) native product search of Virtuemart very often shows products, that are NOT AT ALL related to the search string. What could be the reason? In most cases I cannot detect any relation between the search string and the shown products.

However there are always correct products among the results .. but they are mixed up with wrong products.

Any experience? I dont know what to do.. thanks for help!

Hi Tygo
Virtuemart allows you to choose what to search and what not to. So for example you can search the product description and that will return the product for searches where the words are mentioned in the product description.

If youw ould like to narrow down the amount of places Virtuemart looks for places to search go to: Virtuemart > configuration > Product order settings > Scroll to the bottom > Available Search Fields > untick / tick the places you want to look for search terms.

This should resolve your problem.
