Search Keywords field in GOLD

Post by Tea-Dev » Sun May 19, 2013 7:12 am

In Ablecommerce 7+, there used to be a field "Search Keywords" where you were able to drop words for a given product and simple search was using it. I do not see that field in Gold!
is there a similar field in Gold? If not, are there any suggesstions?
(note: I read in one of the topic threads that Meta Keywords worked the same way. But, I tested and the search does not return any results)

It was removed in Able Gold. You'll have integrate your desired keywords into the product description or name.

With the new search features in Gold, Able didn't see as much of a need for a separate search keywords field.

Is there a way to incorporate the "Meta Keywords" field into the search?

I think Metakeywords are already part of search isn't that the case ?

Not sure. Can this be confirmed by ablecommerce developers?
We updated the meta keywords with some words and then searched the site....no results were found.

I have confirmed a standard Able Gold R4 install will include the ac_Products MetaKeywords field in all three search modes Lucene, SQL and SQL FTS.
