New Faster Shop Search

[DIYnot]

Greetings

The new Shop Search has gone online today - here, it is a lot faster than the old search (10 seconds old to <1 second new), has some useful features to create complex queries if required and the ability to limit by price. The shop contains nearly 50,000 DIY/home/garden related products.

If anyone has any comments, problems or suggestions please mention them in this topic, or as with anything you can email admin@diynot.com

Here are some examples:

hammer drill - Find products that contain at least one of these words.
"hammer drill" - Find products that contain the exact phrase "hammer drill" e.g. "battery hammer drill", but not "hammer and drill".
+battery +drill - Find products that contain both words.
+drill hammer - Find products that contain the word "drill", but rank it higher if it also contains "hammer".
+drill -hammer - Find products that contain the word "drill" but not "hammer".
+drill +(>percussion <impact) - Find products that contain "drill'' and "percussion", or "drill" and "impact" (in any order), but rank "percussion drill" higher than "impact drill".
screw* - Find products that start with the word "screw" e.g. "screw", "screws", "screwdriver" and "screwdigger".
