I have 40,000 listings in the GarageSale database and have been using the product for over 10 years. Searching for listings is a daily occurrence and I have noticed a change in the results being displayed. This feature is crucial in my daily operations.
For example, in searching for:
NFL 1974 10/06 Detroit Lions at Los Angeles Rams Full Ticket
It now finds the listing only if you enter contiguous words. e.g.
NFL 1974 10/06
10/06 Detroit Lions.
Otherwise, it no longer returns the listing as it did before. e.g.
NFL Detroit
NFL 1974 10/06 Ticket
Detroit Lions Ticket
I have tried both âWhole Word Searchâ and âShow exact matches onlyâ. Also, âAll Fieldsâ is selected. I am using GS 9.2 (1502) and MacOS Ventura 13.1
I tried it here and named a listing
NFL 1974 10/06 Detroit Lions at Los Angeles Rams Full Ticket
I made sure that âShow exact matches onlyâ was disabled and then searched for NFL Detroit
.
The listing was found immediately.
So, the search seems to work fine.
Maybe itâs an issue with your database, maybe searching in a database with 40K listings just needs some more time?
It worth a try to let GarageSale re-index your database.

Thanks for the fast response. Everything is now working.
