Not Showing Up On Search Anymore!

Hey all. I'm so confused!! All my feathers have been re-tagged and titled and everything was completely relevant. The past 2 months I was on the first few pages for search and sales were high. This past week for some reason, I am NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. All my titles, tags, descriptions are the most accurate I have found and yet....I don't come up on search anymore. I have no idea what has happened to make this change. I literally can't make any more changes to be better...why would search usually pick me up for the first page and now...not until page 20!?!? I went from a crazy amount of sales to none (which is scary for my wallet lol)...anyone else finding this is happening to them? :(

my only suggestion is to had feather hair accessories to your tags - I wouldn't personally search for extensions, I'd search for accessories. But that's just me... have you checked your top keywords on stats? Or do you use craftopolis?

I'm having the same problem. I clearly have several vintage 1970s wrap dresses in my shop but not one of them shows if I search "1970s wrap dress" I have had no sales out of my shop for a week and I know it is due to me tweaking my titles and it not showing or being relevant. Something is clearly wrong with the Etsy search. My other shop shows up just fine when I do searches so I'm not sure what the deal really is.

I tried the search over and over and I get different results searching with the same words. One time only 8 items showed up and the next over 600

Hmm I'll certainly add accessories thanks BarbieBoutiqueBasics!

Yeah and totally something is VERY wrong with this search thing. I can't get my search results to change now! I have the same first 3 pages over and over. This new relevancy thing is really supposed to help...but it hurts. There is a REASON there are so many posts for people who hate it!

To figure out what people search for I start typing in the Etsy search bar "Feather hair" and then below you'll see what pops up... from doing that, some things to add might be "feather hair piece" "feather hair clips" and "hair feather" as tags. I believe "hair feather" together as one tag is stronger, in terms of search results, rather than two separate words, if that is a phrase commonly used. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, also I remember reading somewhere that what you have in your title holds more weight than tags now. That's why you might see people's titles looking huge and wordy ...and tag-ish lately.
