Is there a way to set the search criteria to consider ALL words in the query rather than ANY words? Search is currently picking up practically all items on my website with a specific search like "Black Belt". They get black uniforms, red belts, etc.

With the Advanced Search you also have the ability to shape the results by adjusting the weights associated with a match in each field. For example, a match in the product name field could be worth more than a match in the long description field. One thing to keep in mind is that bad data in your catalog can wreak havoc on search accuracy when using the Advanced Search. Where we typically see this is the hidden keywords (search keywords) field that's use to 'hint' the search. This field should only be used for words that do not appear in the other fields that you're searching otherwise you will artificially inflate the relevancy of those products. |

Okay, I tweaked the weights associated with each checked search criteria and that does help. At least the results are more relevant. Thanks.
