NOT operand or (-) Search Results Question?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Does product cart use any type of operand or symbol to exclude search words for the basic search. This would be very helpful, but I can't find anything on the F.A.Q. or in support.

A search for star bead returns approx. 170 results.

	Hi, There's nothing built in so you would need to modify showSearchResults.asp to achieve what your after. There IS code in there to split up the string that looks for delimiters of : AND, and, commas, OR, or, spaces or ***. See the lines :- TestWord="" if intExact<>"1" then and examine the code beyond there - It splits up the search string (If exact phrase has not been selected) and then builds the query for the search.
