module to improve your search results, boost your conversions, and offer your customers a better user experience.<\/p>\n

The default Zen Cart search function is limited in that it matches the product\u2019s attributes (model, title, description, etc.) and sorts them first by models. If the model is the same, the results are then sorted by title and so on. This system is not completely effective because it does not always return optimal results for the user<\/strong> since there is no regard for the relevancy of the keyword as it relates to the product match.<\/p>\n

Once a user types a second word into the search box, the query will return results that match either one of the words. Users may see results near the top of the listing unrelated to their search because they may have matched the title or description but not the model. Yet, the relevant results could be too far away to keep users on the page. This leads to high bounce rates and a poor user experience. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Zen Cart Reloaded Search<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Zen Cart Reloaded Search Module solves this problem by applying a weighting to specific attributes. If you determine title matches to be the most relevant, they will appear first. Set the weights in your admin panel to tweak the search results. You have the option to set weight by product name, product description, product model, and meta tags.<\/p>\n
