| I've frequently tried to search for a set by the theme name, and have not
had any luck.
For example, when you search the catalog for "Teenage Mutant" you only get one
result.
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=p13ctytnt01
I know that there are categories by theme, but these are not listed as catalog
search results.
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=S&catString=790
It would save me having to go to "that other site" for set numbers if searches
could be done this way.
Perhaps this is just that one theme, but I've encountered it before.
Thanks!

That would be nice. I'd also like to be able to search for things like AT-AT
and get the Star Wars AT-AT sets, but it seems that it is interpreted as 'Search
for AT, and show all listing that don't include AT' which results in
nothing.

Excellent suggestion! Hopefully it isn't a monumental task for the Admins
to improve the search function on this site to allow for the finding of specific
parts/sets/etc. (it has been a poor "feature" for a very long time now). Let's
hope that the Admins see this and look into what it would take to improve it...
Life is Good.

| With the massive amount of individual items, sets, colors, series, etc., in the
catalog, it's a very big undertaking to correct the matching issues in the
Search feature. However, I can tell you that the development team is aware of
the search issues and has been working on them.

I would think it would be a function of the search algorithm and terms being
stripped. What's there is not the issue, how to find it is.

Posted this again, before I realized you had already responded.
Sorry.
What's the status on this? I'm still having the same problem... Have
they made some progress?
Just curious. Thanks for a great site, and for paying attention to our concerns!
