Absolutely! We’re planning to add this along with hopefully some other filters soon.

Yeah, we are planning to change that behavior of remembering the previous search. We currently remember it (and have a ‘reset search’ button for running a new search) because it’s convenient for the majority of users that search the same thing regularly. However, the drawback you mentioned is a significant one, and we agree that it would be better to start fresh (while still making it easy to re-run an old search).

We have additional filters planned too, although trim is tricky due to the many different sources we draw from. Working on it though.

Adding more filters is one of our top priorities. We have a number of new filters planned. Not all the ones in this list will be possible, mostly due to the data we have available, but we will be adding what we can.

We are definitely planning to add more filters, including drivetrain (awd), and hopefully engine cylinders. For forced induction, we won’t have a separate filter, but we will soon have the ability to do an ‘OR’ search with keywords, something like (turbo OR turbocharged OR turbocharger OR supercharged OR supercharger). (Exact syntax may vary, but once it’s available we’ll show you how to use it with a help tip alongside the keywords box.)

We’ll get this added. In the meantime you can still search for it using the ‘Other model’ option.

Definitely hoping to do this soon! Once we’re finished some current work, we just need to look into what information we get from our sources to see how difficult it will be. Absolutely agree that it would be useful though!

As far as I know, craigslist doesn’t have a way to filter by bodystyle. However, for things like wagons we could automatically add appropriate keywords. Will look into that. For now, at the top of the craigslist section in the results, there’s a section where you can edit the keywords for craigslist only. I would suggest adding “wagon” in there.

Absolutely agree that we should have email alerts. We are working on some other priorities at the moment, but it is planned. Price change alerts are an interesting idea too, and one that we hadn’t considered before. I will add that to our list!

Wow, it’s been a while, hasn’t it! It hasn’t been mothballed, but it has been back-burnered in favor of a couple more pressing things. We’re working right now to improve keyword searches—we’ve already added support for positive and negative quoted phrases, and are planning to add full AND/OR logical searches soon. After that should be better classification of models and potentially trims, and THEN this is the next major feature planned after that.

We’re definitely planning to add as many of these as possible. The ability to select multiple bodystyles is a good idea as well; will look into that.

This is an unfortunate consequence of how our model search currently works, which we are planning to overhaul. Basically, a number of our sources include a bunch of trim information after the model name, as as long as the beginning of the model matches, we show it as a match. That’s not ideal though, we know, so it will change.

For now, fortunately you can work around this. Just put -“Montero Sport” in the keywords section. (A hyphen (minus sign) followed by Montero Sport in quotes.) That will filter anything with that phrase out of the results, which should leave you with only the regular Montero.

This is something we’re planning to do eventually. Only reason we haven’t done it yet is some other priorities we’re working on first.

This one’s a bit tricky, because the Trofeo appears to be technically a trim level of the Toronado. I’m sure some people list them as just “Trofeo” without the Toronado though.

For now your best bet is probably to choose “Any Oldsmobile” and then enter Trofeo in the keywords box. We’re planning to revamp how we handle model names in the near future, so will keep this in mind then!

This is one of our top priorities actually, and is planned. Also just a quick correction to the earlier response – we currently only include common misspellings for a handful of vehicles, so trying misspellings yourself is still definitely a good idea if you’re searching a model with common ones.
