One of our customers reported slow search functionality and wanted to know how to speed it up. Despite adjusting settings under Configuration > Wide search, they saw no improvement and sought guidance on how to optimize the search performance.
The osCommerce support team suggested using the Plain Product Description app, which enhances search speed by creating and utilizing pre-indexed tables. For seamless setup, the team recommended pairing this app with the Cron Scheduler app or manually configuring cron jobs.
With this solution, customers can significantly improve search performance, allowing faster and more efficient product searches on their sites.
