Improve Inventory Search

The Clover does not allow for more advanced searching capabilities such as plu for grocery stores which is crucial for business with large inventory and bulk inventory. When My merchant searches let's say 222 it comes up with all items that have 222 in them and the grocery store assistant has to scroll down forty plus options to get to the item. My merchant told me a 20 year old dos pos can do it so a 20th century pos should be able to do it at bare minimum. This is going to lose you business and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Sorting improvement to search by category and label. Currently sorting only works for item name, price and product code.
Filter by labels needs to be included.
In our company use, we use categories and labels to manage our product variants. Each category has a clone of an item in another category, with their applied variant. We use labels to add broad categorization to all inventory items.
When we update our product inventory or pricing, it is a painstaking manual process. Improved search mechanisms would really help.

Currently, when I am searching for an item in the Inventory App, it searches for the item *exactly* how I typed it in, for example if there's an item called "123 ABC", and I go to search it up by typing "ABC 123", it won't show up. However, I want the search engine to be looking for items with the words "123" and "ABC" no matter which order I type it in. For a more realistic example, if there's an item called "Pink and Blue skirt" and another item called "Blue and Pink lego set" and I search for "blue pink" I should expect BOTH these items to come up. It should ignore spacebars, dashes, and maybe go as far as making the "&" symbol still come up for the word "and" etc. I shouldn't be not seeing products just because I didn't type them up in the right order! They should be coming up based on the words I typed, ignoring the spacebars connecting the words into one big word, and searching for that, which it does currently.
