Site Search now looks beyond just the name and description fields to include variances (search for size Large, or just Blue items for example or even just Large Blue items).
Site Search includes Custom Item Attributes – Customers that need to create custom fields can easily do that and determine which ones are indexed by the search tool.
Site Search now automatically reindexes the items and all related items when item information changes or a new Order Motion product load is completed.
