Search setting

We upgraded the search by phrase.

 

By default the search works the following way: the system counts numbers of words in a phrase and searches by these words minus one word.

 

For example:

 

Phrase: 跨境双肩包 usb (Cross-border backpack USB) consists of three words;
The search is performed as any two words:
«Cross-border backpack», «backpack USB», «Cross-border USB» and so on.

 

We upgraded the functional of search, added the following settings:

• strict search (search by all phrases): If a search phrase contains 3 words, in this case the system searches on all these words. Search results will be less, but they will be more accurate.
• search minus 2 words: If a search phrase contains 3 words, so we subtract 2 words, and the search searches on any word of this search phrase. For ex. «Cross-border backpack USB» search phrase. The system will search on any word of the search phrase: «Cross-border» or «backpack», or «USB». The search results will be more, but less accurate.

 

These settings can be applied for each trade provider separately.

You can enable this setting in admin panel here:

 

Configuration -> Instance configuration -> Search products -> Text search accuracy.
