Can't Find a Website Search I Like!


Eden Baby AnimalsEden Plush Baby Peter Rabbit Animals



I've tried a bunch of free to try software packages that provide a website search, but so far nothing does what I want. I've about decided to pay a programmer to do it for me. We're also considering pulling all our toys off eBay and just using that for our vintage collectibles. There are lots of pros and cons on that one, so we're in no hurry to decide.

I did pay the $100 to try the Business Version of Google's Custom Search. But the directions were basically no less confusing than the regular Custom Search. Looks like all you are really paying for is not having their ads on the page. I canceled it the same day I bought it, and did not have any problem getting my money back.

So I continue to take photos and add to our catalog, making do with the Catalog Search I have for now that is the Google Base search page.

Another Lesson Learned - Don't Assume the Cart Was Abandoned

We had an abandoned shopping Cart today. But it turns out it was not abandoned after all. I don't know what caused me to check PayPal today, but there it was all paid, just as it should have been. But PayPal did not send me the email the way they normally do.

I wouldn't have even known about the sale if it had not been that Mal's e-commerce sends an email for each sale.
