Magento provides very good search functionality and you can add or remove the products attributes from the search. In this post I am describing how to remove the products attributes from the search? so that Magento search works according to the specific attributes which is included into the search terms. In my case I want to Search only by the product name in the mini search. By default Magento Mini search works on the basis of Product Short Description,Description and the Product Name, So it returns the result on the basis of the Product Short Description,Description and the Product Name and you only wants that Magento mini search works on the basis of the Product Name only not including the other product attributes. Here are the steps given below:
