Search should be global to include service items (on the customer portal)

This would be great to implement.  The main portal page search should be all inclusive.  On another note, the service catalog page does not do partial searches.  Using the above example, typing in "pay" in the catalog search would not pull up "payroll" items.

I would really like this too - Google Analytics shows us that about one third of our customer search terms are for services in the catalogue and it won't display any results for them at the moment.

@Mary S it's a bit of a bodge but one way round this at the moment is to work in alternative spellings and search terms into the service description text somewhere, as these are queried for the search results.

That doesn't work for me Jonathan. The example payroll service item above has the term 'payroll' mentioned in the description, however it still doesn't find it.

For those that were waiting for this feature, it looks like they've now implemented it. I was searching yesterday and noticed that service items now appear in the global search.

Woohoo!
