Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some products not display in product searches?

Last Updated: August 9, 2007 11:42 PM

Quick Shopping Cart™ uses MySQL, which uses "Stopwords", to compile product databases. Stopwords are words that are common to the point that they have little or no meaning by themselves. Therefore, when a search is performed against any of these words, no results are returned. The search function in Quick Shopping Cart may return a null result even though the word does exist in the product description.

The default list of stopwords is located on the MySQL Full-Text Stopwords page.
