On V7, we were able to do re-index on the database so that using search may get better result. But I couldn't find that feature on V9.

BTW, what is advantage to use one over the other: SQL vs. Full Text

Thanks
Marco

AbleCommerce 9 now only support SQL Server Based Full-Text Search and that is managed by the database itself. Gold has a Lucene based Full-Text search too where indexes were maintained separately. Now when you switch over to SQL Full-Text Search under store setting it automatically starts the indexing and there is no separate page for reindexing.

Full-Text Search is more efficient than normal SQL Like based searched because of it happening over-indexed data. Performance may not be noticeable on small databases though. Full-text indexing also allows things like weighting, automatically matching results that may be similar to what you are searching. You can read more about over Stackoverflow

Why did you drop SQL and Lucene search? We have one large merchant who is wanting to upgrade, but he uses Sql Search because he gets better results. Some of our clients use Lucene search to get better results.

Actually what I meant to say was that we removed only Lucene search provider. Standard SQL and SQL Full Text Search providers are both available in AC9, we only removed Lucene.
