C5 marketplace Search
Permalink
Hi i have some constructive criticism for the c5 dev team.
when i search on the C5 marketplace i notice i don't get many add ons back for the search term that i use.
i think this is a problem because people like me can't find add ons that are really just not showings as the search is poor.
i have started this post as C5 must be missing out on a lot of add on sales.
i think the search system needs a database of words that have the same meaning so it can use them to check in a contextual way.
prehaps some meta data that must be filed in. e.g the creater will have to give lots of words that he might think a potential customer might use to find the add on on the market place. e.g (used twice i know!) a product slider for the core e commerce add on. words i would suggest - ecommerce product scroller, product scroller, e commerce slider.
perhaps a list of phrases and then a separate list of words.
i guess i am making this post because i mainly do SEO work (along with brochure sites) and i get frustrated with search that gives me the message "No items found for "ecommerce product scroller"
what do you think... C5 team?

That said, Addon creators already enter a list of words (tags) to be searched, but I guess entering multiple words means that *all* corresponding words have to be found on the addon. Thus, to find more addons, you should enter less words …
