Hi,

What's the best way to put keywords in your classified ads:

PROBLEM 1:

Word1, Word2, Word3

or

Word1Word2Word3

or

Word1 Word2 Word3

PROBLEM 2:

when I have the following:
"hair for free" and someone searches for "free hair" will it be found ?


How does the search engine work ?

DO NOT USE COMMAS AND DO NOT RUN THE WORDS TOGETHER

SL search really really sucks in that it doesn't recognize substrings. If you separate your terms with commas, the only way they will turn up in search is if the person types in the comma too. If you run them together with no spaces between, nothing will turn up in search unless the person searches for WORD1WORD2WORD3WORD4 exactly the way you have it typed. So option 3 is the only way to go.

I don't remember off the top of my head how phrases work; I'm pretty sure they are just a collection of words though, so a different order shouldn't matter.
