Post adding the categories to the search utility 
Is there a way to allow users to get positive results from a search if they enter a term that is a part of one of the category names. For example, if one of the category names is "CuttingBoards-Sports" and that category contains a football, basketball, baseball and surfboard item, entering "sport" or "sports" will yield no results whereas entering one of the product names will.

Lee,
One way to accomplish that would be to take care when writing the product description and use the words or terms that you want in the description of the product.

Howdy,

by default AgoraCart searches:

product ID
product category
product name
description

the query is setup in this line of the agora.setup.db file (an array assignment):

"keywords|0,1,3,5|=|string",

youcan edit it to look in any of the db fields you wish. However, searchs are going to be troublesome on some word combos... such as partial words in hyphenated form in some cases

Mister Ed ... of course ... of course

You would need to utilize something like this:
Code:

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="agora.cgi">
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="cart_id" VALUE="%%cart_id%%">
<SELECT NAME="user3">
<OPTION value="Acura">Acura
<OPTION value="Subaru">Subaru
<OPTION value="Toyota">Toyota
</select>
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="ppinc=search" VALUE="search">
<input TYPE="submit" NAME="search_request_button" VALUE=" Search "></form>


Note: I used user3 for an example, just make sure that the user field that you use for the form is the one that contains the info you want to search for.

HTH!
