How many pages do you Search?

[Former_Member]

Usually if I'm doing a search for something I check only the first 10 pages listed and then either buy or give up.
So, I did a search for my product and found that 28 of the 47 items listed appear in the first 10 pages.
I am thrilled with that number but just wondering how that is on a scale of 1-10?
Also, how many pages do you search before stopping?

I will keep looking until I find something I like. Sometimes that happens on the first page, sometimes I don't find anything I like at all. I think since I sell on here, too, I'm willing to look through more pages, rather than favor sellers who are better at SEO over newer sellers who still make great items.

I will sometimes look at everything when I search, even if there are 40 or more pages. Crazy, I know. But I will almost always look at at least 6 pages. I like shopping.

I only look through the first 3 or 4 pages. If I don't find what I'm looking for, or enough options to choose among, I refine my search terms and try again.

I really don't like the process of shopping, whether 'in person' or online. I like to be able to quickly find what I want, or figure out how to find it faster, buy it and be done!

That's so true Sara - I think I give up after 10 because I am so impatient. I feel guilty though so I always go back and find what I want.

I'll search however many it takes to find what I'm looking for. If the search results are too overwhelming (like 100,000 listings) I'll refine my search by setting a maximum price. There's no point weeding through stuff I can't afford!

If I am only browsing I will search the first 6 or 7 pages. If I NEED something I will keep looking longer by refining my search.

I keep looking until I find what I'm looking for! I might come back later if I get bored, but I usually keep on looking if I'm after something specific. I do a lot of comparing items too
