I have been working on a PCV4 shop for a customer and she has just added Meta Tags and Descriptions to all her products including some general keywords. Is there a way to stop the search engine from including the Meta Information in search results as now if a visitor types in a general keyword ALL 1,000+ products come up. This is also happening for her in the control panel.

UPDATE I found a way to exclude Meta from the storefront search form, loosely following the last part on this page: http://wiki.productcart.com/productcart/settings-search_options. What I did was

In “pc/showsearchresults.asp” and "pc/inc_srcPrdQuery" replaced all instances of A.pcProd_MetaKeywords with A.details so it no longer searches MetaKeywords.

However I still don't have a solution for in the control panel if anyone can help?
