Key Words

 

You can enter multiple key words. The end of a word is determined by a space. The string, GALV  NAILS represents two words.

 

 

Use Of The  * or ?  Character

 

Adding an * or ? at the end of a search string will assist in finding more products.

 

The strings GALV  and  NAILS  will look for the words as specified.

 

The strings GALV*  and  NAIL?  will find words such as GALV, GALVANISED, NAIL, NAILS

 

The * or ?  character can be used in these fields: Key Words, Category, Sub Category, Product Group and Status.

 

Note: The * or ? will only work when added to the end of a string. It will not work at the beginning of a string.
