We are working on a help file for searches with examples. As you might have guessed this is this is a rather complex topic and all we can say for now is TRY!

| Why does my search take so long? |
Because there are so many results! Searching through all major online auction houses takes time even for a fast web server! Try to narrow your search by excluding or including words. Right now we do not have a limit on processor time you can use, but there will be in the future.
