  Within the next few weeks Better Store Search 2.0 will be released. This revolutionary new version of the already-successful Magento extension has a variety of new features which will allow customers to find the products they're looking for much quicker and with less hassle.

  
  A few of the new features:
  
  - A brand new patent-pending algorithm to provide phonetic matching with items in your mySQL database, allowing customers to misspell product names and still get the right results
  - Intelligent special character matching
  - "Did you mean?" search recommendations after a search returns no results
  - Completely re-factored product match relevance system architecture to allow for more extendibility

  
  We're extremely excited about providing store owners with this huge improvement in search from the Magento default. The new version will be released very soon so stay tuned for more news. Also, all current Better Store Search users will receive the upgrade to version 2.0 for free!
