Question About Search

Post by just bob »

THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AT ALL. When you go to the forums page and enter Zippo into the search bar only a few items come up. When you go to the non knife related category and enter Zippo in the search bar even fewer items come up. This is strange because when I was doing some random looking in stores I see there are Zippo's for sale here in different stores and several have sold in completed items. Why aren't they coming up when you search? Thank you Bryan for all of your efforts in continually improving this process.

Had you taken time to read the OP you could answer that question for yourself. "When you go to the non knife related category and enter Zippo in the search bar even fewer items come up." That is clearly stated in the OP. You can only reach the non knife related category search bar from the stores search bar and not through the forums. I have been on AAPK since 2011. I run an AAPK store and I think I know where the search bars are located as I use them often. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Sorry! Just trying to be helpful and I didn't know you had a store nor did I know about this "non-knife related" category.

Guess you don't have to worry about me buying from you. ::mdm::

Looks like the only Zippo items showing in search are in a knife related category ie... the zippo with Case logo in "other knife related items".

Looks like I'll have to investigate and fix the search feature when looking for zippo & other terms in "non knife related" category. There definitely should be some that display.

I'll try to get to that early this week.

Thank you Bryan. I kind of just stumbled onto this when I got an email from the owner of the Nutmeg State Knives store saying he had new knives for sell. When I looked I saw he also had some Zippo's for sale that didn't come up in my recent searches. Then I noticed there were others for sale that didn't come up either.
