    how is a user supposed to search for multiple keywords?

    searching for bauer hockey returns no results. but searching for just bauer or just hockey works.

    What's up with that?

    Consider using full-text indexing (in our manual here and here). Without it, the search just uses LIKE comparisons to query for results.

    Default Specs?

    are there any recommended system specs for running full text search, from the manual "it can be resource intensive in terms of processing power and memory usage during live operation"

    Thanks,

    Their are alternative ways of handling this, e.g.:

    http://www.visioninstyle.com/searcha...chTerm=versace Here you'll see the first 10 results are from Google, while the rest are from the Database,

    Also try:
    http://www.visioninstyle.com/searcha...ace+sunglasses In this Case Google returns restuls for you, but the storefront database will not have results.

    This is much less CPU intensive on the server and uses Google's technology to figure out what should rank higher (i.e. its not always in alphabetical order).

    Also a plus if you spell Versace, as "versase" it will correct it for you

    This does require modification to the system however.

    Also cSearch does this for you...without indexing enabled.

    You linked to 8.0 version manual... is full-text indexing available on 7.1.x ?

    Full text indexing is an 8.x feature.
