How to change the search method's default?

Hello every one,

How can i change the search method deafault from "All Words" to "Any Word"?

Because this way more likely my potential costumers will find what they are looking for!

looking forward to hearing from any of you.

Thanks

The default search in X-Cart is AWFUL...I strongly recommend this:

Yeah, ok Balinor, but at $149.99 it's about three times what most of us are ready to spend on such a mod.

Actually I have customers who are able to find the products (yes, products!) they are looking for just by using the not-so-good Xc search. It all comes down (mostly) to have nice and usefull products titles and descriptions.

Well it is just one opinion.

Cheers,

Philippe
