Using Shopping Cart & Flash Website...
I have both your Flash Website Search & Shopping Cart software. I love the shopping cart software, but It has no search feature and does not work with Flash website Search. For example:
The titles & descriptions are all the same when you use the Flash website Search. It's becuase the Shopping Cart program names every product page as the "shop name".
I've managed to alter the index.php file to get the results I need for the "Shop Home" (http://www.berrypatchgifts.com/shop/index.php). Once I got it right, I just don't upload any updates to the index.php file and instead edit the page with your HTML Editor. I think the product.inc.php in shopping cart is causing the problem, but I just can't get it right.
Any chance, I could get help with a few small changes to the products page:
-Title = product name (fix Flash Website Search Title issue)
-meta name="description" = product long description (fix Flash Website Search description issue)
Anyone have a suggestion?

I do get unique results for my items using CC flash website search, but the results aren't descriptive enough. The result returned as a link below the description is the group id scc generates when you create your item. So even though I'm seeing the same title for each product , and the link isn't descriptive, the description below the title and above the link is accurate.
example: I did a search on my site for jersey, and the results that were returned were relevant and descriptive enough:
...& Litter aids Bird Accessories Wild Bird Accessories Dog Clothing $19.99 Steelers Jerseys for dogs Click here to choose size, jersey number, and color
However the link below the description is shown like this: http://cctropicalparadisepets.com/shop/ … groupid=11
which really isn't helpful to the customer doing the search.
There is more than enough room for more development on this product to make it more helpful to the customer, but I find it to be more helpful than installing google search on my site. I've used it in the past and wasn't happy with it at all. Which is the reason I went with CC flash search.

Great! Thanks!
My shop is bursting at the seam and an in-site feature is really needed. Is there any work-around I can do with Flash Search while I wait for the pro version?
Thanks
