Search Listings

• Search listings allows you to find listings by words found in the Title or Description.

  

• The default search filters are All Categories and for the Entire Country, but these options can also be used to filter your search results:

  • Category
  • Price range
  • Business, Personal or Both
  • A City and listings within a 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 250 mile radius around it
  • Show only Free
  • Only listings with Photos
  • Only listings with a Video

  

  

• Wildcards and Excluding Words

• A very useful way to filter your search is by using wildcards with your search words; question (?) matches any character, and asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters.

  An example would be using the keywords 2015 Chevrolet Truck. This would return listings that have the words 2015, Chevrolet and Truck.

  

• If you used 201? for the year then would get Chevrolet Truck for the years 2010 thru 2019.

  

  20?? would return listing for the years 2000 thru 2099.

  

• If you used Chev* then the listings would be for Chev, Chevy, Chevrolet and so on.

  

• You can also exclude words by using a minus (-) character before any word. So a query like 2015 Chev* -Truck would return any 2015 Chev, Chevy, Chevrolet ... and doesn't have Truck.
