I made it so the search will search the description fields too. You can get a new build of the extra shortcode plugin from here:

Hello again, great work all of you. In fact I've been looking for a more detailed search engine, one with custom fields that will help the user more by getting what they want by allowing them to be more specific.
I have been trying out WP Custom Fields and I think I'm almost there. This is useful for an online store that has a blog as well and this search helps with posts and pages.
However I can't seem to get it to search within the store products as I have inputted my products based on wp estore's categories and not wordpress' categories.
Based on their notes I think it can be done but I just can't figure out the database field that can make the search engine search within wp estore's categories.
Maybe someone can help with it as I'm not very good with code, here's the link:

The most ideal search engine for both wordpress and wp estore right now would be one that incorporates both worlds. Being able to search within a blog AND the store AND provides customised fields to help the user get what they want faster than ever.

Ok, just finished trying out what I really want and probably have settled with using 2 search forms. I can place a forum search for the forum in the sidebar and another search bar for the products.
But would need a search bar in the sidebar for that and have the results turn up in the main body of the page.
Someone else wanted that feature too, so I'm seconding that!:)>
thank you.

I really need thisnew product search, thanks for doing it. Unfortunately, I just downloaded the extra short code plugin. I had to zip it then install from inside the theme. I don't see the new shortcodes showing up in the popup dialog when clicking on the shopping cart icon in the visual editor. Have I done something wrong? Thanks.
