I decided to give the Search feature a try... I searched for "8165A" in the title. When I ran the search, it came up with one hit (correct) with a price of 4.00 (incorrect). The current price is 51.00.

Is there a bug in the price parser?

Still seeing this bug. The prices in my search (for "8165A") are showing up as "1.00" and "2.00", where the correct prices are "6.99" and "195.00".

Can this be fixed?

Thanks,

It is my understanding that the search function has bugs that AS is aware of and working on. I've not used the search function since discovering this... waiting to hear from AS when they have an update.

Shouldn't be long now - it's only been a few months...

R2,

It's my understanding that they haven't worked since 6/25.

I noticed that price error as well.. at least the search itself seems to work right and is a lot more flexible than eBays.. The only thing I would like is a sub catagory search feature.

Region, instead of typing the same question repeatedly (and now in boldface) in multiple threads, why not just use the eBay search feature, which is what most of us use?

'cos, for some reason no-one at AS will respond and give a definite answer. I am using the eBay searches but the AS searches have the potential to be so much better. Oh drat, I'm repeating myself...

It'll be fixed in the next month or two. We have a large list and this is on it. Once it's fixed it shouldnt act up again. Rather than just continually patch it to make it work for a short period again and again we're redoing it to make it better.

We might try and just patch it quickly agian if we think it wont take long. Otherwise it'll have to wait until it's rewritten.

Sara, I don't know how bad it is, I don't use it.... But if it is too bad, it might be better to just disable it until it is ready rather than hack people off.

People have much less trouble over the lack of a feature than the presence of a bug.

my 2 cents.

Or if some people sue it bugs and all, maybe put a note on it... Basically manage the users expectations. People hate unknowns.

Are the searches fixed yet?

I think 2 months is up!

They were fixed a while ago. I've been getting about 10 searches for things I watch several times a day. But I also search eBay US items.

I havent received any searches in the past 2 days but that may be due to the new servers we put in place that are running just searches now. We started things up after 6 or 7pm on Friday. Something musta not been quite right, they should be going again on Monday once the programmers come back
