I, too have been having problems with custom store searches. The original categories stayed the same after the store was first built. But I have added items in different categories and the store did not pick up the new categories. So I tried making custom searches, but none of my listing show up in the searches. I was only able to get 3 or 4 words in the keyword section, and even though I used some of the keywords from titles, they still do not show up. I have searched everywhere on the site and cannot find an answer. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
