The search tool we have is pretty basic and misses a lot despite our best efforts.
Whats the best (php/mysql) site search tool to implement that allows users who search for "blue dogs" to actually find products like "blue dogs / blue dog products / cheap blue dog"
(And not, "dog food as used by blue dogs")
There must be good search solutions out there that use word stemming / dictionaries / thesaruses etc?
Are there any that don't cost $3million+?
What do you use?
You could suck the relevant portions, or even the whole page into the database and then run a full text search on it. I did a similar thing several years ago with a postgres database but the relevant info was already in the database.
HTH,
BAD
