Hi guys, sorry to whinge as I know you're all very busy.

However, I am having real trouble searching on the classifieds lately. If I am browing a particular model (Eg E34 5 series) then I don't seem to have any problem, if I start asking more of it then it takes ages to load before giving me the 'A Technical Problem has occured, the team have been noted' message. For instance, I am trying to list all private sales >£2000, ordered by distance. Every time I try and do this it fails. It seems to have been like this for quite a few days now, and I've tried on different machines too.

Any ideas?

Mr Will

It's down to the amount of data you are asking it to pull back.

If you ask for all E34s then you are asking for 44 adverts. If you ask for all private adverts over £2000 then you are asking for 20145, which it then needs to inspect and sort into distance order.

If you stick an upper limit on price, distance or something similar then you will greatly cut down the results and it should work a lot better.

Thanks Mr Will, I suppose it seems obvious now I think about it. I'll bear it in mind...
