OMG, I am dying, lol.

I just noticed my last 5 searches.  4 of them returned ZERO results because the searcher put an "s" or an "es" on the end of the word.

I don't think it's right for me to use the plural form of the word in the title or description when they will only receive one item.  My category names have the plural form but the search here obviously ignores the category names. 

Any chance this suggestion will be put into action??

If not I have to figure something out.

One more question -- does the search look at titles only? or does it search the description as well??

Include the plural forms of the searchwords in the KEYWORDS section found under the SEO tab in your Product listing area.

The product search does also search the keywords SEO field (title and keywords). So you could put all of your search variations, plurals, commonly misspelled words, or relevant search terms with out affecting the way your product title or descriptions are displayed.

using misspellings is definitely a good tip. Common mistakes can still turn-up real answers
