Classified search, is this possible?

[Davie_GLA]

Morning all.

Is it possible to search for EVERYTHING under a certain marque for cars under a certain price or a range?

For example, say i wanted a BMW for two grand, but didn't care which BMW, can i do a global BMW search?

Cheers,

David.

You can use Ctrl + Click or Shift + Click to select as many different models as you like.

Not with you, if i do that then it just opens them in a different window?

Exactly what search are you trying to do? It's working fine here.

[Davie_GLA]

Search everything, price up to £1k.

Everything everything, or everything BMW?

Everything everything

Via which page? Are you trying to do something fancy, or just using the "Price From XXXX to XXXX" boxes at the top of the main classified page?

[Davie_GLA]

From the advanced search page.

select everything in the box, maximum price £1000. Go.

Yep, that might cause a few problems as it will be trawling an awful lot of data. The search boxes on the main page will work (as it searches a different way) or alternatively just leave the models box blank and it will default to all of them anyway.

No worries, i'm pretty sure i can exclude a lot of options when looking for sub £1k cars

If you want everything under £1k, just leave it blank. It'll search a slightly different way and work just fine

It is on the way, but in the mean time you can cheat by entering the price-range you are after into the car search boxes and pressing submit, then changing the number after g= in the URL from 1 to 7: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?g=7&...
