Tired of crap keywords while searching?

whqqsh, Aug 30, 5:23am
probably old news to some BUT Ive just read TM search tips as I've been plagued by 'suit V8 conversion' or just a list of irrelevant keywords on 6 cyl cars when searching for V8s (or other details), just put your search words then NOT (in upper case) then the word you don't want in the search or a minus in front of the word. works a treat, sometimes knocks out half of the results due to getting rid of the rubbish

now we've just got to convince TM to put a search option in to sort cars into 'country of origin'

saxman99, Aug 30, 5:41am
What does country of origin mean though? eg is a BMW built in USA German or American?

whqqsh, Aug 30, 5:43am
knew someone had to pick, what do most people think when you say BMW?

Yes!
Though to get around problems of who decides, why can't we select more than one make? Easy to allow that in a search function, I can choose few different makes, then style, year, money etc.

Wouldn't clutter it up for others, handier for few.

Yeah - I go searching for Mustangs and get heaps of tg's crap Camaros.

whqqsh, Aug 30, 9:00am
yup, easy, put in 'mustang' then 'NOT camaro' the only thing is you'll miss out on is the guys who use a camaro keyword in their mustang ad, but then it serves them right anyway lol

Jeez - that was a pretty good cast too, and he hasn't even bitten!

My daughter sent me a p'txt on Wed of some car rims turned into a chiminea - today, there are less wheels under the house, and I've made my own, and the hole in the side is the shape of a 2015 Mustang grill. Couldn't make it the shape of a Camaro grill, otherwise it would'a looked fugly.

Get with the programme guys. Register on bibbud and you can have all these options and more. You won't regret it.

While I'm having a pick, how about:

Ford; American, Australian, British or Euro?

Holden; Australian, American, Korean, German or Japanese?

etc

I guess part of the issue is that a huge section of the motoring public will have no idea where their heap comes from. How many Toyota Cavalier owners will try to claim their car is Japanese?

I'm tired of auctions that say I'm wrecking such and such a car, ask for the part you need this auction is for a nut or a screw and this is a classic a piece of rust.

But guess who's getting ripped-off the most by auctioning the cheapest possible item?
