Searching in the "description" attribute

There are several downsides of searching in the description attributes.

Lack of advanced improvements

If the search phrase is only included in the description attribute and not in more relevant attributes such as title, category, or brand, several AI enhancements cannot be applied.

Limitations include adjustments such as scrapping the phrase and checking for prefix matches, noticing and correcting typos or recognizing different forms of a word in some languages.

Items are not returned in some cases

If you use settings that remove less relevant results when exact or higher-quality matches are found, these description-based results will not be displayed at all.

The same applies if sorting is used, as less relevant queries are removed by default.
