location field and the search function

[Shambo]

I like to search for things being sold locally to me.

I do this for a number of reasons. I don't have a car, I can try before I buy and I don't have to worry/pay for a courier.

Yesterday I noticed Pinball's nice Dimension bass for sale with 'Bristol' appearing in big letters underneath the title, (if it wasn't burst colour he would have had a sale by now). Adding a location field to sales topics was a great idea, but it doesn't appear to be included in the search function?

I type Bristol into the search bar and I don't find this attractive local bass that I almost want to buy.

Basically, is it possible to integrate the location field in to the search function pretty please?

Good idea....can only make the forum a better place to shop.

The search functionality is pretty locked down as best as I understand. Will have a tinker and see if there's a way though

Another approach might be to use google as the search engine, and search for something like

"site:https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/19-basses-for-sale/ Bristol"

or

"site:bascchat.co.uk/forum/19-basses-for-sale/ Bristol"

(without the quotation marks)

The search functionality is somewhat improved from the previous version but still sucks oranges through elephants IMO.
