How to search for items

lizd160904 — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 09:47:09 GMT

How do you search your purchase history for key words after 12 months previous? I know on the mobile app you can do it, but it only goes back a year. I don't want to be sifting through 50 pages of items to find the one thing I'm after

Cheers

Select purchase history then change the drop down to the year you want.

Then select the maximum number per page at the bottom, usually 100.

Press control and F together.

That will bring up a search box at the top and enter the keywords.

As you type there shouldn't be any sounds but as soon as you hear a tone then there are no words matching up to your typed letter with the tone.

Hellow fellow wise one.

A handy little morsel, can be used for any page.

Talk about live and learn......in all the years I have been on the boards I don't think I have even seen anyone post that search.

And I could have done with it just before Christmas.

Many thanks kopes.

Many thanks kopes.

I reckon there should be a separate board called "Kope's Handy Hints" lyndal - I'd love one that transports threads 6 months and older to a cyber shredding machine......................

Hang on!

I've posted about that search, but using the F3 key brings up that search box.

Usually people want to search a seller's feedback.

Hmmmph

All praise to Kopes indeed

More hmmmphing..........................

Fourth time lucky. Let's see if this counts as invalid HTML or flooding -

I've given you a pat on the back stawks.

I guess I just did not need that search when you posted it so it did not stick in my memory.

Thanks Lyndal.

I'm not sure whose post I originally saw it on - it was the control + F version, not the F3 key - but I've been using it for the last month or 2.

A big thank you to everyone who mentioned it, as I've found it very useful on quite a few occasions. 🙂
