Hi guys,

Has anyone else had issues searching keywords in the catalog for a specific part,
only for the part in question to not appear in the list of results (even though
it is in the catalog)?

I came across
 
Part No: 85984pb424 Name: Slope 30 1 x 2 x 2/3 with 'MICHELIN' on Yellow Stripe Pattern (Sticker) - Set 75889
* 		85984pb424 Slope 30 1 x 2 x 2/3 with 'MICHELIN' on Yellow Stripe Pattern (Sticker) - Set 75889
Parts: Slope, Decorated
in a bulk lot, but when I search the word Michelin,
I get 35 results, but the decorated slope is not one of them. If I add single
quotation marks and search for 'Michelin', I only get 3 results - the
slope and two wheel assemblies, which are not in the list of results when I don't
use the quotation marks. Surely the search function should pick up everything,
regardless of the use of quotation marks or not??

which parts specifically but it was 100% before the new header/footer

Of course.

But I just tried in the nav search, Catalog with 'MICHELIN' and it does
find the part above.
Same as in Catalog search... is that already fixed?

“'MICHELIN'” finds the part.
“MICHELIN” does not.

I know, it's what he wrote:
"If I add single quotation marks and search for 'Michelin', I only
get 3 results"

If I search 'MICHELIN' or 'Michelin' I get only 1 result, the
part he's talking about.

No comprendo or already fixed?

Michelin without quotes does find the part in a Catalog Items search, but not
in an All Items search.
