    Depending on your catalog, you may elect to create a schema that uses both product and category field names. For example, a clothing retailer who chooses Product > ShortDescription will show only individual product listings in their search results for the term "jacket." By also choosing category as a Core Field Type, however, searches can also include results such as "Women's Jackets" or "Long Jackets" in addition to a listing of individual jackets.
