"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon


Unless I missed it somehow (very possible) - how come AudioGon doesn't allow for searches based on price ranges like they do at real-estate sites? I'd think it would be a simple change to incorporate a search option based on the "asking price" of the ads. And while they're at it, they should consider one based on the "retail value" to appease the egomaniacs among us (self included).

Any views on this?

I think having a price search is a good idea. As far as previous threads are concerned, lets not be to harsh as some subjects need to be updated from time to time.
after time after time after time?
just how many threads do we need:
"how do I install a dedicated line?"
I thought of this post when I saw a post on what's available on a $5000 budget. This should help narrow things down I think.

Spellchecker, why not. I for one could use someone with good english and typing skills.
Oops! I may have misunderstood. My response targeted the home page search function for equipment purchases. Jewel, the search option for discussions may not lend itself very often to a price range. There are only a few threads (out of the thousands) that address that explicitly. It would simplify searches if the searcher could choose to pull up "topics" rather than each word within a topic. For example, show all threads (topics) with "best preamp" -- only the thread titles would appear. The searcher could then click on those.

Bob, you are right about searches not being used. I did a ton of research on dedicated lines so didn't have to ask the question -- but each separate thread did seem to add value. Not everyone contributes to the first, second ... Well, maybe after the sixth it got to be about the same.

Ozfly - sorry I did NOT mean searches at this "Discussion Forum". I was talking more about "search functions" associated with the "for sale" pages, the main bread and butter pages.
