  Search Results Explanation:

  • Possible results are only searched in the minimum category level for product creation and one level above. Usually this is set to level 4.
    • The minimum category level of product creation is configurable.
  •  Multiple words are searchable as long as the category contains the exact words in the same order.
    • E.g.: If the category name is “Mobiles & Tablets,” then “Tablets & Mobiles” will not be searchable (incorrect order).
