When we first purchased BV 5 we really liked the search results that were generated. But, since then the Service Packs have significantly changed the way searches work and in our minds we are not getting the search results that we really want based on customer inquiries.

So what we are hoping for is if there is someone out there that can either recommend or quote us on making a change to the Search engine for our BV 5 site. We are looking at something like how Ebay returns results. Basically if you cannot find the exact result in the search box product a linked list of results based on the subset of search box.

Something like this:

Search box Foot Pedal

If exact keyword does result a return then.

Display the number products have the word "Foot"
Display the number of products have the word "Pedal"

Thats basically what we are looking for plus a few other little tweaks.

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

I think we'd be in on this too if someone was looking to develop it. The last set of patches seemed to improve the search to a usable point but really it seems the only way to guarantee great results is to tailor the keyword search field (bv) to every possible combination. Others have discussed implementing full google searches as well.
