I'm asking this question here, because it appears that AW doesn't seem to answer them very quickly if you post under "Storefront".
I want to know why the search engine in the storefront does not seem to work correctly. I checked it when I first opened it, typed in a few different words to check how it worked, and everything seemed fine. I just listed 20 auctions last night, telling everybody to click on the Gallery link and type in keyword "cat" to pull up all my current auctions. Now, I see that there is a CATAGORY for Cats, but it seems you should still be able to type the word "cat" in and it still should pull up all the auctions. When I do it now, it says "no items found." What's going on? I know I have some other cat items that are in other catagories that should pull up (like a chess game) and it still didn't come up. Now I look like a fool, and I'd like to have some answers.

I have a follow-up to this - It looks as though the search engine will not recognize words that are 3 letters or less. I tried Dog, Cat, and Big - all words in some of my auctions, and none came up; and then I tried Fairy, Dinosaur and Dragon and all of them pulled up my auctions. Can you PLEASE send this to the engineers to correct this. Not recognizing 3-letter words is pretty ridiculous!!
