My just listed item doesn’t show in search listings when I use words that are in the description – how does search work in Bonanza? does it even look at the description section? Do I just have to wait a while for the item to be “crawled” or whatever to add it to the search database?

After an item is listed on Bonanza and you have clicked “Activate Booth” or “Update Booth”, it can take up to 30 minutes for the item to be properly indexed into our databases before it can be found using the site-wide Bonanza search feature. However, the item can still be found by users who use the search option within your booth or by browsing your booth.
On rare occasions, the item can miss one of our indexing cycles and it can take 2 hours before it’s available for searching. If the item doesn’t show up within 12 hours, please let us know and we’ll take a closer look.
When searching for your items you also want to make sure that you have properly set up your shipping options. For example, if you have not set up shipping to your own country and then do a site search for your items, they will not show. Our search is designed to only return results/items that are available to you based on your location. Here is a link to our International Shipping help page. [URL removed]
If you don’t have any feedback or if you are selling an item that hits our criteria (Electronics, expensive handbags, etc) then we will have to manually approve your booth before it can be activated. Normally we do a site wide approval a couple of times each day.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
