Deal Searches

3,442 429 April 16, 2025 at 01:16 PM
For the last few weeks the deal searches I have made all come up with unrelated deals that I have no interest in. I.E. LOWES searches turns up deals like lady slippers or canned food items that clog up the search so I have to scroll through page after page of nonsense. I'm getting tired and frustrated. Can SD do something please before you end up like FATWALLET. to me

Sorry that the fix is taking longer than expected. It seems like this problem is with the Classic version of the site. For now putting the search term in quotes should help. It's an extra step of typing or bookmarking "lowes" (and possibly "lowe's") which you shouldn't have to do, but at least you won't get shown deals for low top shoes or all the deals mentioning a low price.

I can't even find deals I know I saw before and wanted to purchase later. If you don't comment on the post, good luck trying to find anything.

"It seems like this problem is with the Classic version of the site" Nope. After you said that I thought, I'll try with firefox, not logged in and new version. Search is still broken and pretty badly at that. A search for Home Depot sorted by newest first shows the newest post 2 days ago. (Along with things that don't belong) So it would seem search is broken on both old and new versions.

You're right, but maybe broken in different ways. Thanks for pointing it out, I forwarded it to our engineers, hopefully they can roll out a bunch of fixes soon.

Thanks for sharing the link. There have been a lot of updates to Classic search lately, and there are definitely some kinks to work out still.
I let the team know about this issue, but I'm not sure what the ETA on fixing it is at this time.
For now, I think the best workaround is for you to use this link:
Code:
https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?searchin=first&intagid%5B%5D=56113&forumchoice%5B%5D=9&forumchoice%5B%5D=41&forumchoice%5B%5D=44&forumchoice%5B%5D=4&forumchoice%5B%5D=39&forumchoice%5B%5D=13&forumchoice%5B%5D=54&forumchoice%5B%5D=10&forumchoice%5B%5D=25&forumchoice%5B%5D=38&forumchoice%5B%5D=53&forumchoice%5B%5D=30&forumchoice%5B%5D=71&q=lowes&r=1

Your link works and is appreciated...can you supply a link for Home Depot and Walmart when you get the time? TIA
