Question for those of you using this mod:

Did it require much configuration to get accurate search results?

I'm having some trouble with the results returned for my search phrases. In some cases they are far less helpful, or non-existent, where the default search function found the proper products. For example, we sell products that contain Pau D'Arco Bark. On the default search, searching for "pau d arco" will return all 8 products and nothing else. With Smart Search, searching for "pau d arco" will return 50 products or more, and sorted by relevancy products with "Pau D'Arco" in their names aren't even on the first few pages.

In another instance, searching for "Chai Tea" with the default search will return 12 products which contain the phrase chai tea. Using Smart Search, of the first 10 products only 6 of them contain both words while other items like teaspoons and mate chai outrank many of the items by relevancy that contained the actual phrase "chai tea".

Judging by all of the great reviews, and how helpful Bill has been answering questions here, including my own pre-sales questions, I'm hoping that it's just a matter of tweaking things a bit. If anyone could offer any insight based on their own experience or my examples I would greatly appreciate it.
