Searching for Items View Lesson in Text Form Hide Text
|
There are several ways to find items on Ahwooga.com In this lesson we will cover them. |
|
On the homepage of Ahwooga, featured listings are located in the center of the page. |
|
The list of featured listings continues below the featured item logos. |
|
You can find items by clicking a category.
The number beside the category tells you how many items are listed under that category. You can drill down through categories and sub-categories to find items. |
|
You can use the bread crumbs on top of a category to navigate back through a category you have searched into. |
|
You can click Browse on the blue menu bar to browse all the categories in the center of the site. |
|
Use the Search Box to search for items by title, listing number or user/listing owner name.
Note: Singular terms yield better results. For example - Search "brake" instead of "brakes". |
|
The Advanced Search gives you many parameters to refine your search by. |
|
| Click Stores on the blue menu bar. |
|
The Stores area displays.
Here the search box becomes a "stores search". You can search by store name or inventory. |

|
|
|
|
| There are a number of ways to search on ahwooga.com. You can search by Quick search box, catageories, browse, stores and bread crumbs. In this lesson we will take a closer look at each option and throw in a couple extra bits here and there. |
|
| Title page Quick search - If you know what you're looking for this is the way to search for it. Just type in your search term and click Go. For best results use singular terms. For example, search tire instead of tires. or Packard instead of packards because listings are mostly done by individual item. capture hilite box with term in it and go box
If you know the listing number or seller name you can select the radio button and search by that.
You can click The advanced search button which will allow you to narrow your search using a variety of criteria. capture show advanced search button and page |
