Hi,

on my site www.bouncingbean.com, the search page doesn't seem to work exactly how I imagine it should.

What I mean is, if I enter the words say, Elvis Presley, and click the radio button that says use 'all' the words as opposed to 'any', it will find all products with either the words 'Elvis' or 'Presley' as opposed to only the finding the products with both 'Elvis' and 'Presley'.

I don't know if I've explained this at all well, but what I mean is that the 'all' radio button on the search doesn't appear to find products with all the words in the search; it still comes back with any of the words in the search.

Any ideas on this?

Many thanks in advance,

It seems to work for me. When I search for Elvis Presley and select all, I get 33 results. When I search on Elvis I get 41 results. When I search on Elvis Fudge and select all, I get no results.

thanks for looking; I've just tried it too, I think I'm going stupid.

Sorry for that.

thanks,
Matt
