 * Is there a way to also search the description or short description of a product?
   I am using the Pro Version.

 * No the plugin does not support that -> because it is predictive search – in other
   words you type the letter ‘a’ and it starts returning results –
 * Lets say you have 1,000 products and in the Products description 800 of term 
   have the word ‘a’ example ‘a good phone’ or ‘another mat’ or atlas
 * Every product with a word starting with the letter ‘a’ will show in the results–
   in other words the results are meaningless. Even Google does not do that – it
   ranks your page for ‘Keywords’ – it does not go out and actually do a live search
   of the content of hundreds of millions of sites for each letter you type – it
   has already crawled that content and ranked the content as ‘keywords’
 * Predictive search is ‘Live Search’ – in that it does not crawl and rank pages
   ready for delivery when someone types a ‘keyword’
 * Predictive search actually searches your entire database as the user is typing
   that is why it searches
 * Product Name: Lite and Pro Version
 * and in the Pro Version:
    Product SKU’s Product Categories Product Tags Posts 
   Titles Pages Page Titles.
 * In this months feature upgrade we are adding a feature where on the post or page
   Meta you will be able to add ‘keywords’ that you want associated with this post,
   page or products.
 * That means say you have a product called ‘supercalifragilistic’ but has a common
   name like ‘furball’ you will be able to add that as a Predictive Search ‘Key 
   term’ for this product – and when the user starts typing in ‘fur…’ the product
   will show in the results.
 * You should see this in the feature update due out before the end of January. 
   It will be a Pro Version feature only.
