Improvements to "Search Products" Option

If you've tried to use our "Search Products" option on our website in the past, you probably realized pretty quickly that it was difficult to use. Searching "Artisan Bake Shoppe", for example, would bring up every single product that had "artisan", "bake", or "shoppe" anywhere in the name or description. You were looking for all the options from one brand but had to wade through Anita's Unbleached White Flour ("Anita's Organic Unbleached White Flour is preferred by many artisan bakeries..."), Amy's Vegetarian Baked Beans, and Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flour ("It lends baked goods an incomparably rich texture...") to find them all. We are relieved to announce that this has now been improved.

As before, the "Search Products" box is on the right-hand side of your screen while you are looking through any of our product categories. Type any combination of words in any order and the results will be only active items that contain all the words somewhere in the name or description. Items that are out of stock will automatically be excluded from the results.

You may still get some unexpected results - searching just "granola", for example, will bring up a lot of yogurts because their description includes a variation on "delicious with granola" - but it will be easier to find exactly what you are looking for by adding more descriptors (for example, adding "strawberries" to "granola" will get you down from 38 results to just 4: two cereals, a granola bar, and a strawberry yogurt).

We are always working on ways to make our website better and we hope that the improved search engine will make everyone's shopping easier. If you have any questions or feedback, please call us at 604-708-2345 or email info@greenearthorganics.com.
