Search cards question
Dec 30^th, 2010, 5:10am

In making new cards, I sometimes type in a keyword like "hockey," "summer," or "bride" in the search box and it gives me a nice subset list of categories with that term in the title. AWESOME! - makes chosing categories to target rather convenient for buyers as well as card designers.

However, some terms like "coach," "mom," "humor," or "pet" do not give such category lists.

Why, and can this be fixed?

Thanks!

if the term is included in 20 our more different category titles we currently are not displaying the subset list of categories. Puts a heavy load on our database and increases the time it takes for the page to load, especially for single word searches like birthday, humor, Christmas.

I think that one of the items we'll be looking into at some point is how to run this search more efficiently so we can remove the current restriction.
