The Product Search module control is optionally used beside the product list module control to search for products only. The search works against product name, description and attribute definitions assigned to a product or variant. The product attribute definition must be marked as "Filterable" in order to be searchable. The search uses keyword indexing for faster performance and reduces the database load on your server.

It uses the powerful Lucene search that allows wildcard, fuzzy and boolean matches.
