Search Box Help


daena76

Recommended Posts

I have a file "search.php" below that only picks up the search keywords from an item's "description". Some of my members do not repeat the product title/name on the description box as they see it redundant hence name/title is being ignored by the search query. What do I add to the code below so that it searches item titles too. (I have a classified ads site) Thanks :-) Any help is appreciated. ~danes
