search description with simple search?

Is there a way to alter the simple search so it also searches the description?

Thanks
Chris

What version of AbleCommerce are you using?

I'm not sure what version it started, but the keyword search of the ProductDataSource.NarrowSearch function used in search.aspx.cs called by the simple search does search description. At least it does if you are using the full text searching.

Based on the AbleCommerce change log, it looks like the fulltext search was first included with 7.0.3. I don't have access to code before 7.0.3.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help,
