The product search tool offers a simple and quick search option or an advanced search option.
Quick Search
The search widget places a simple text field to your storefront which visitors will enter their term to. The results will be delivered to a second page in order of relevance. The internal search store function works on Product Title, Listing Description, Keywords and SKU. It does not include the long description as there are many sites that have hundreds or thousands of products of similar nature, for this reason it's best to display fewer of the most relevant results rather than ten's of pages of less related products. It also assists with speed of results.
Two examples of Quick Search Widget
By Default, the quick search uses the "All of these words" option.
The search results also have further advanced sort options that the visitor can use to change the order of results.
