Ran into some intriguing issues with the search function. I searched for 6" and 8" under reflectors, and even expanding the search to over the past year, it didn't find anything! Then, as an alternative way of finding such scopes, I tried f/6 and f/8, but that didn't work, either! (I made sure to turn ON include sold/found items.)
I can understand the system skipping searches for a single number or character (likely too many hits), but 6" or 8" should be common enough search terms, so it'd be good if they would work.
Even adding brand names didn't always help. "Discovery 8" or Discovery 8" didn't find a listed Discovery 8". "Discovery 12" fails to net the Discovery 12.5 scopes. Even though the scopes exist, the search function reports "No classifieds found". A caveat or disclaimer --or, tips--could help there!
Aperture search terms with more than 1 digit, however, do work. 10" finds scopes, for example; also, so do f6 and f8. (Although the terms f6 or f8 obviously won't find scopes listed as f/6 or f/8.) Even the single, stand-alone inch mark (") works! Although that returns too many hits to be useful.
I also discovered that searching for "inc" does not return anything with "inch"!
Am I missing some option or trick that would enable me to find 6" or 8" scopes? Thanks for any help!
