Search Relevancy

[mjb238]

I'm ordering my results by relevancy which is default I think but I'm not too happy with the results I'm getting. I've had people searching for "ipod" for example and the results are poor: http://www.whostocks.co.uk/cheap/ipod.

Has anyone found a way to improve this? I looked on price runner to see how they handled it and they seem to "intelligently" link ipod to the mp3 player category.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have a similar issue - im looking for a way to change the default order sort order for search queries on productlist.php from the default ('relevency' I believe) to price (high to low)..

Can anyone point me in the direction of the code i need to edit and what i need to change to make 'sort by price' my new default?

Thanks

Use $_GET['sListSort'] = 'lo';

Although be warned - search results are poor. Search for iPod and you'll get something like iPod case for 99p or some such rubbish.
