Guest Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Hello, Can anyone help me on my site search? If I type in blenders with an "s" the search results is "0" If I type in blender without the "s" the results will show all my blenders, this is consistent throughout all my products... You can view the site at: http://www.kitchenconveniences.com. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Pat P.S. Feel free to by anything...
germ Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 None of your products are entered as "blenders". They're all singular "blender". You're trying to get the code to do something it's not programmed to do. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Thanks for the reply.. Should I add plural names to all the products in the description? Would that resolved this issue? Thanks, Pat
germ Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Probably, but I wouldn't. After all, are you going to add an s to everything so people can search or coffee makers, and ice cream makers, etc.? :unsure: Personally, I think it would make your site look very unprofessional. My motto is you can't make anything "foolproof" because "fools" are too ingenious... ;) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

The font would be in white (invisible) and with more search able words...I'm going to give it a test run...or an off site search engine, unless anyone else has any suggestions. Thanks, Pat
germ Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I've heard that search engines (like Google) don't like it when you "hide" text by making it the same color as the background. It's your site's funeral, not mine... If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

WoodsWalker Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I've heard that search engines (like Google) don't like it when you "hide" text by making it the same color as the background. I have heard this, too. Best not to do it, and besides, it's time-consuming. Try to work the plural words into the text descriptions gracefully. "The least expensive of our blenders!" "The most popular of the KitchenAid blenders!" "Most households have five blenders!" and so on. Best wishes, ~Wendy
