User Guide

 Instant Search.
 Minimum word length. You can choose the minimum size at which
a word may be registered in the search index and found by your
customers. This feature allows you to eliminate short words in the
search, such as prepositions or articles (the, and, of ..).
 Blacklisted words. You can choose the terms that must not be
found by your visitors. Enter them directly into the field separated
by "|".
 Product Name Weight. PrestaShop enables you to prioritize
certain data when a search is performed on your shop. Here is how:
the keyword search term "player" is associated with the product
"iPod shuffle" in the test store, and is also the name of an example
product that we created, called "Walkman example".
o We will show first the search results that has the word
"player" in the name of the product. To do this, we will assign
to the "Product Name weight" field a value that is worth far
more than others. In our case, we are going to write 10 and
place the value of field "Tags Weight" at 1. This way, the
product with this term in its name that will appear first.
o We take the same term "Player" but inverse the values in the
fields: "Product Name Weight" thus gets a 1, and "Tags
Weight" gets a 10 .
You have many more factors that you can assign a weight to: short
description, category, tags, attributes, etc. You will find that the display
order of results is reversed because we changed the weight of the various
fields. Fine-tuning these settings will be more visible on a large catalog
with many references.
Once your changes have been made, click on "Save" for them to take
effect immediately.
