Classified Ads???????

[Loren L.]

I visited the Classified Ads of NCRS today with a Wanted 5953734160K; 4 Lamp Assy mount for a RH 1963 Corvette Headlight bucket. I hit "Search". My responses were, in order: 1> 1967 435 coupe for 160K; 2> Seats for an '82 Collector Edition; 3> T-tops for a Collector Edition; 4> 1969 Vinyl hardtop; 5> 5 F70 wheels and caps; 6> a 609 water pump; 7> 326 water pump; 8> 1967 435HP convertible; 9> 3706013 WP Adapter plate for 53/5 6cyl; and 10> a 3014900 NOS Heater core for 1968/73.
Anyone like to venture a guess on what "criteria" this search engine uses?

I have no idea, but I have to look into those seats for an '82 CE.

It probably uses 'any words' so a search using '5953734160K; 4 Lamp Assy mount for a RH 1963 Corvette Headlight bucket' would pick up any of those terms. I would think that each of the ads it selected had 'Corvette' in it at least once.

Loren,

Perhaps you didn't type ANYTHING into the actual SEARCH BOX (the oval where it says 'search keywords') and then hit the SEARCH NOW button. Just testing my theory yielded the same results you were presented. Basically, I think it returned ALL items (9-pages), because there was nothing for the search engine to key upon.

Hope that helps,
Jack
