"Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon

Great idea! Add an asking price range box (including "any") to click on in conjunction with the search. It may be tough to do the retail price since it is not always listed and may complicate the search (need to search on two price ranges with an "and" / "or" function).

Auctions would be excluded, but all the dealer demos and classifieds would make the cut. It would eliminate the open ended prices from the search (you've seen the dealers who are selling a product line at discount but are forced to use a single price in the description). Overall, it would be great!

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.
