How exactly does the search work?

@teelget

Here are the answers to your questions.

SKU search: exact match (only finds the SKU that matches input exactly)

Yes, that is correct!

Search: searches product title, product description, product short description

Yes, it works as a full text search across the product title, product description, and product short description. For example, if you search for “t-shirt,” it will return all products that have “t-shirt” in any of those three fields.

BTW, if you are looking for more advanced search options, you can also check out our best store management plugin – Smart Manager, which offers Advanced Search functionality to search across any product field, along with other powerful features like Bulk Edit, Export CSV , and more to help you manage your store efficiently.
