Etsy search change

[FortunaExpressions]

Hello there!

Does Etsy change anything on the search bar? Before I could search on Fitler to add "star seller" and on the link address I changed the "star seller " to "best seller" to show me only the best seller on a specific product and a badge showed up on every listing with "best seller" but now It didn't show anything even start seller or Etsy pick.

Now when I search for what kind of products are the best-selling, all the listings appear but there doesn't seem to be any badge on the listing like it used to. Does anyone know if there is an update that removed this tool? Thank you!

Click on All Filters at the top left hand corner and then you can select Star Seller or Etsy's picks about half way down. 

PS.  You need to set your shop location as you are excluded if anyone filters to UK because the search engine doesn't know where you are.

Thank you for your answer! 

That's not the problem because I know how to use a filter. I used it for a year, what I meant to say is that before when I selected "star seller" a small badge appeared on each list in the top corner and it said "star seller" on the listing and I kept changing "star seller" to "best seller" on the link address and it just seemed like "best seller" to me and each listing had a badge in each corner that said "best seller" now it doesn't appear in any category and I don't know which "best seller" is, they all appear in one place, something is wrong.

I just did a search and clicked on Star Seller in the filter and all the results have the star seller badge displayed.  There doesn't seem to be a filter for Best Sellers.

@FortunaExpressions  The best seller badges are hidden in search (until you click on the listing and it's there).  There could be testing going on. The filter that runs vertical has star seller there. Since the BS badge is hidden it won't help you for viewing purposes.

Thank you for the answer! 

2 days ago I tried to change "star seller" to "best seller" from the link address and the badge was showing on every listing on the corner photo, but now neither "star seller nor Etsy pick" appears even though I set it at in the filter, I think Etsy is running some tests.  Maybe the search bar will return in the coming days.

@FortunaExpressions  I know what you're talking about and now it's gone.  The BS badge sometimes disappears and then reappears so we'll never know if it's a test or not. The Popular Now is gone too.

Perhaps what you were previously seeing was a test and now it's concluded. Etsy change things all the time - constantly tweaking, looking for that sweet spot that will make them the most money.
