Hi JoomShaper Team,
I am currently developing a store on Joomla 5 using EasyStore and the SP Page Builder Pro EasyStore addons (storefront, single, and collection pages).
I’ve encountered a significant limitation with the current EasyStore Search addon compared to the native Joomla Smart Search. When users enter multi-word queries to pinpoint specific products (e.g., "Brand Name - Model - Material"), the search results are too broad.
The Problem:
It appears the search currently uses OR logic. For example, searching for "Haflinger Emils" returns every "Haflinger" product AND every "Emils" product, burying the specific item the customer is looking for.
The Request:
Please consider updating the EasyStore Search logic to use AND logic by default, or provide a toggle to switch between the two.
- Target: Searching for multiple terms should only return products containing all of those terms in the title or indexed fields.
- Reason: This is essential for stores with larger catalogs where pinpointing exact items is necessary for a professional user experience.
Currently, I am forced to tell users to search for specific product codes only, which is a difficult workaround for the average customer.
Thank you for your hard work on EasyStore!
