When I do a search in my cart it only brings up product names that match the search. I want the search to include the category titles/names in the search because sometimes the categories are the only time with the common search names.
Also has anyone used Google search engine instead of PC search engine on their site? Would this be a good idea?
Sorry this post maybe in the wrong area

correction the search will sometimes find the category if I only search part of the word..ex Widget Amazing Tests
It will find it if I just search the word 'test' without the s
I did look into the wiki for under Category Structure but I think that the wiki may be a bit off because I was not able to find the line with word False on it. (should be on line 19 to True of pc/showsearchresults.asp).

edit--I should of looked closer the first time...The search is just finding products not the category names at all--edit

Is there no way to get the PC search to include the titles of the categories? I tried to add a custom search field to the category but this does not work. As it just gives a option in the advance search page. I am look to find out how to search based on category key words not based on product key words.

In the backend admin section when I do a search for a customer the system bogs down with the javascript feature. How do I turn this off
