I have attached a little package to enhance the catalog search.
Maybe some one could try it out and see how it works.
All files are virgin 7.9 with only the search enhancements so they are drop in and run.
There are no database modifications required.

Let me know if there are any problems.

It does not need consecutive words in a phrase.
You also have the ability to search description words that won't be displayed.
That way, you could include search  terms like 30" inches and whether the keywords contain
30" or 30 inches, results are returned.
You can also include commonly misspelled words which you would not want to display.

I use it for items that are listed as a range of years such as 1995-07
I just include the years 1995 1996 1997 and so on in the hidden description.
