Multiple synonym(s) for search terms

Tags:

magento

I'm in need to have more than 1 synonym for a search term in magento (version 1.4.2.0 - can't upgrade it for now), but all my attempts to add multiple synonyms have failed.

I've been looking around without any solution, any of you had a similar need and managed to find a solution?

Thanks for any help, Mat.

So you have people look for 'doodad' or 'dodad' and you want to show people the 'macguffin' instead.

So far you have tried to add these search terms in on the back-end but it has not worked.

The fix-workaround is surprisingly simple.

Type in 'dodad' in the frontend - no result given.

Now type 'doodad' in the frontend - again no results.

Now go into the backend and go to the last page of the search terms.

The entries for 'dodad' and 'doodad' will be in there. You can now put 'macguffin' in the synonym box.

Now go to the front and type in 'dodad' or 'doodad' into the search box and it will take you straight to the 'macguffin' item.
