Very. Search for 996tt - Enter £10k min price, it filters out 85 cars - all of them are over £10k.

Works for me.

Looks like a big improvement over the old search facility. Shame it's only possible to have 6 filters though.

Will the accuracy improve as new adverts are posted? What I mean is do existing adverts not contain enough info to work with the new search facility? Or is the supplementary info being sourced elsewhere, based on the reg number the advertiser specifies?

A search for rear wheel drive and less than two years old gave me an old-new shape MINI.

Teething problems aside the little car counter thing takes ages. Very auto-trader.

I like it though, keep at it.

Thought the new classifieds was going to be powered by a 'Mutt' but doesn't look like it

The upgrades are a really great idea, but I tyhink we need a min/max filter for 0-62 and power.

For example, I'd like to be able to search for RWD cars that do 0-60 in under 6 seconds and cost up to £20,000. Currently I have to do several searches to work that one out (for the 0-62 it's <4, 4-5 and 5-6); or perhaps the same thing for cars with more than 200bhp, but I have to look for 200-250, 250-300... :yawn: - very tedious! A min/max would solve that one.

Seems as though the filters are getting out of sync, possibly from when selecting multiple filters sequentially without letting the search update itself first. For example, I got to the stage of having 331 petrol BMW X5s listed, but only ~41 when I selected all fuel types, whereas the filter had worked correctly previously (in case it helps, this was using Chrome as my browser).

As has also been commented, the ability to search for just a single bracket (such as 0-60 times) is rather counter-intuitive - suggest either that you can select multiple values in the filter (e.g. control-click 4-5, 5-6, 6-7 seconds, etc), or change the filters to multiple 'less than' / 'more than' values

(it's also very slow, but that's probably all of us lot who are trying to break it by playing with your filters!!)

Unfortunately, the similarities with AT don't stop there...

I'll bet it's experiencing a sudden spike. In 2 hours it'll be fine as everybody remembers they have work to do before they leave for the day.

It's got potential, but your testing can't have been particularly good. Either that, or the meta data for each advert is all over the place.

Also, seems a shame to have lost year from the summary view.
