But you can get close by 'levelling the playing field', so to speak. Your problem may stem from the fact that more words match in the description than do in the title. You can force all fields to have the same exact weight (no greater importance given to extra word 'hits') by adding allHit=1 to your search parameters.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
