Just a simple work around for when a customer searches for say laptops and you have loads of product defined as laptop computer. In this instance nothing would show in the results.

This strips the s of the end for the search:

Add into customer/search.php below the:

#
# Perform SQL search query
#

if(!$substring) { $substring = $substring_sku; }

bit.

	// code to strip last s from search string
	$substring = trim($substring);
	$start = (strlen($substring)-1);
	if ((substr($substring,$start,1)=="s")||(substr($substring,$start,1)=="S")){
	$substring = substr($substring,0,$start);
	}

the searches for laptops will show up anything that is a laptop

Obviously it doesn't only work for laptops
