I was just browsing through the advanced search bit of the classifieds and noticed the "quick searches". Looks good, and useful.

I clicked on >£25k and it appears to be broken. Lots of over £25k cars appear in the search results.

Thought someone should know...

>£25k is greater than £25k. <£25k would be less than! smile

Ahh, I see. Maths failure on my part.

Wouldn't it be more sensible to have the search be "less than" £xx ? Clicking on >£20k, and >£25k brings up the virtually same massive list of cars.

When people search for cars by budget they don't think "I want to spend more than £20k" They think "I can spend up to £20k"

Probably, but it is a very old function which was designed when the classifieds were much smaller, so would have made a lot more sense then.

We'll see what we can do about including some better toys in the near future thumbup
