Searching the database needs re-writing sorry

Our search engine now behaves in the same way as most other major search engines.
PHRASE SEARCH
"stereo mic" - terms in quotes will match the exact phrase
INCLUDE / EXCLUDE
+surround +microphone -sennheiser will return all items that match both surround and microphone but NOT sennheiser, items which include the word Sennheiser will be excluded from the search results.
BOOLEAN SEARCH
This type of searching is called boolean searching, it can be very productive and provide more targeted search results, but it has one major failing, it ignores words of three letters and less... if you search for a word of three letters or less the old search engine will be used automatically to allow you to find items such as DPA, PAG etc. Nothing is simple in life!
