Question about "searches"

[doddg]

Sorry, didn't know where to put this question: I hope I'm not in trouble listing it here.
I little paranoid lately.


Is there a way of doing a search in the Classifieds under "Handguns" and see only "revolvers" or even better yet to isolate a certain caliber to find what is in the pages of the Classifieds?


This is one of the features I like about Armslist: I can put in a "Manufacturer" and /or a "Caliber" to isolate what is available.


When I try putting "revolvers" or "revolvers for sale" in the "search" when I'm in Classifieds under Handguns I will get a few things, including a couple I have listed recently, and then it will give me a couple of listed years old in the mix.


I assume I'm an idiot and simply don't know where to go to do my searches or the sit simply isn't set up to do what Armslist does.


Not a big deal b/c since I check the site daily I can usually see the new items for sale on the first page of the Classifieds anyway, but if I want to do research on the pricing of a particular gun historically it is limiting.

If you are just looking at pricing a firearm then go to gunbroker.com and search that model. That seems to be the most relevant way to see what things are bringing in the current market.

Put this in google search. the first term can be what ever you are looking for in that particular forum. I used sig as an example

sig site:https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/handguns-pistols-revolvers/

Actually, you can leave out the https://www . part

Are you using the "advanced" search? You can filter more there.

1. Thanks: I do before I sell any gun since "asking price" here and Armslist is usually not the selling price.
2. I must be the only person selling for what I list as the selling price.
3. Since I usually sell quickly, the thought does go through my mind: "I should have asked $25 - $50 more," but, truth is: I don't mind passing on a good deal when I bought a gun and don't need to make a profit when I sell: I have a job. When I retire: maybe not.

No, will try to see what I get.

Wow! I got pages of results but they started in 2014 and got older when I put in "revolvers for sale"

You can sort by date, otherwise I think it sorts by relevancy by default.

Remember it is looking for the exact terms you put in. There is no real "metadata" on the classified posts here on INGO other than the subforum they are located in (i.e. things are not tagged or classified by caliber, manufacturer, etc) so the results will not be classified as such.

Cool, that works pretty well and seems to work with other search engines as well.

I usually start any search online with the most simplest of terms. In this case, revolver. The more you type in the more likely you may miss something because the computer thinks in computer, not human brain. If you or the other person spell it differently it won't show up. My personal, craigslist, searches are motorcycle related. Harley, Harly, HD, H-D, Sportster, Sportser. I don't know if INGO has a pipe function or not, I.E. "Harley | Harly" which will capture both spellings. Work it doggd, you can master it!

1. I had to laugh, didn't notice at first read, but caught it the 2nd read: "doggd," instead of doddg .
