So last week we realized we had the SQL search provider selected, and performance was pretty slow. We switched over to Full-Text search which gave us a drastic performance increase.
A side effect was noticed today however.
On the admin side, creating an order for a customer:
Before the change - Search for "Target" and it would return all products that had "target" or "targets"
After the change to full-text - Search for "Target" only returns products with the exact word "target"
I am pretty sure the customer-facing search is showing both. We really need the back side search working well so we can take orders over the phone efficiently.
