Search - please incorporate the item's description as well as title into the tool so that items stand a better chance of being found.
To build an effective search tool, could the search tool prioritise contents according to:
1) Item description
2) words within the item's description
3) the category heading within with the item has been listed
4) the copy within the 'inspired by' bit
5) tags (appreciate this is a previous request but benefits inclusion here too)
Thanks!

Hi there
Item description (i.e. all words within the description) and category are already included.
For each item, a searchable string is created by joining together the following fields:
- seller login
- item title
- item description
- section name
- category name
- subcategory name
- colour names
- material names
- place name
If a user searches on multiple words, then only items that match all of those words are returned.

this sounds a bit like when people get a request played on the radio and finish up with "and everyone who knows me". Wouldn't it lead to people just spamming every word they can think of?
