Perhaps that search form needs some work.  I went to your site and did an 
Advanced search for 'ez-ject lancet', match any, search name field and the 
'missing' product came up.  I would edit search_box_small and try a 
simplified set of search terms:

               <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchtype VALUE=db>
               <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_matchlimit VALUE=[control matches 
10]>
               <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_sort_field VALUE=category>
               <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE="*">
               <input type=hidden name=mv_substring_match value=1>
               <INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME=mv_searchspec type=text size=8>

...that should return a better set of results.
