My items don't show in advanced search

[cosmosgrove]

I just happened to be searching in my local area last night: selected 10km from my postcode (tried 25km as well), searched the word 'the' and selected 'search title and description'. I only got 5 items and none of them were mine, even if I put the word 'vintage' in the title searching this way only returns one of my items when there are 8 other items with vintage in the title.

Anybody know what this is about?

Just searched Vintage Dress and your dresses came up.  Why would you search 'the' when you dont have it in the title.

It's the only way I know how to search for items in my local area, you can't have a blank search box, I use other words as well but none of them are working. I select the 'search title and description' box so it should pick up my items because the word 'the' is in the description.

I would guess it's not just my listings that aren't showing.

If I search vintage dress my listings show, but as soon as I refine by distance only one shows up.

Hi cosmos,

All your listings show location as lower south east Australia except one shows as Millicent.

Happy New Year. 🙂

Haha, that would be it then. It's still a bit weird, in the past they have always shown up when I search like that and I thought I always had Lower South East, in fact I'm not sure how Millicent got in there :^O

It sure helps to know where you live if you want to search for yourself by location !!! :^O:^O:^O:^O:^O

😛 well Millicent is in the Lower South East and dang it there goes my anonymity
