I tried searching "smart robin" to get to this item (http://www.shmax.com/product_details/12151/smartrobin), but no results showed. I had to search "smartrobin". Should the new search functionality cover things like missing or additional spaces in search terms?

Hmm, yes, I guess I'll have to research how to handle spaces. Did this sort of thing work in the old system?

How's this?
http://www.shmax.com/products?topic=2521.msg12784&q_filters_keywords=smart%20robin

So now we can match keywords separated by spaces with space-less content (eg. "side swipe" = "sideswipe"), but matching space-less content will not match the version with spaces (eg. "sideswipe" != "side swipe"). This seems to agree with the way Google does things, so hopefully it will do. I do plan on adding a "keywords" field to the product records for alternate search terms, which we could use to add space'ed versions of names as each case may warrant.

Looks good. Thanks Shmaxy!
