site product search
Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2004 4:09 pm
Hi, I am building a new site that is going to have a lot of different types of products and I need to add a search feature from the home page that would allow the user to find relevant items.
I see this everywhere and some of the more advanced ones return results with a percentage of how relevant the results were.
IE, if I did a search for 25" widgets I might get some results like
25" Widgets - 100%
Black Widgets - 80%
etc.
I assume that I need to use full text indexing on my fields in my DB but other than that I have no clue where to go.
if anyone can shed some light I'd really appreciate it.
thx for your time,
Burr
