Search Returning Inaccurate Results

Hi,

ClassiPress is amazing. For the most part, it is doing exactly what I need it to.

Unfortunately, the search is acting up, and I could really use some help. I tried to search the documentation in case there were better search operators to use, but haven't had any luck.

Here is what is happening:

I have multiple top-level categories. The ones that I am focusing on for help right now is Horses (ID 8) and Events (ID 33).
I have pages where I have a map and listings which link to states for which I have built the following example strings:

http://www.northeasthorsesports.com/...search&scat=33 (Events)
and
http://www.northeasthorsesports.com/...=search&scat=8 (Horses)
or
http://www.northeasthorsesports.com/...=search&scat=9 (Tack Shop manual search)

When clicking on the one for horses, it seems to correctly pick out the right listings, or if I do a manual search for 'vermont' with dropdown search Tack Shop (ID 9). [Menu Steps: Horses > by State > Vermont]

But when clicking on (or manually searching for) vermont in Events, the search is returning a listing that belongs to category 8 (Horses). The thing that is triggering it to show up is the word Vermont in the description. But the search should be pulling only the listings with the word Vermont in category 8 (Horses) and should show a result of 0 for 33 (Events). [Menu Steps: Events > by State > Vermont]

My site is http://www.northeasthorsesports.com

Any help is appreciated. This site has launched and this bug was just discovered.

Thanks!

Monique
