Items not showing up in search

I opened my Etsy shop yesterday and when I search for my listings they dont come up unless I change the filter to "recent". On the deafult filter (Relevance) nothing comes up even if I use the EXACT description.

 

I have tried editing my tag words, description, photo description, but it just isnt showing

 

Please help me!!

I searched for "reindeer gift wrap paper" and it is on page 3.

@Cleiii  - Use the title to search not the description.

Re: Items not showing up in search

You haven't set your shop location so if you are searching with the US then your items and shop will not show up.

Add your location here so that anyone who filters to the US will see your items:  How to Add Your Shop's Location – Etsy

You also need about 50 items before people start to notice. Your drawings (At least I hope they are yours) are cute. They could go on a lot of things.

Re: Items not showing up in search

@Cleiii: You need to keep several things in mind about Etsy search. First, it may take some time for the listings to be properly indexed (or reindexed if you are making changes). Secondly, even if everyone on this forum searched for the exact same phrase they would all get different results. Because of "personalized searches" you can NOT rely on anyone's search results to define how your listing is ranked. There are many many factors that affect listing placement and the relative weight of each factor probably changes constantly. Even exact word matches to your title no longer ensure that you will appear on page 1. Your listing may be appearing on page 251 and Etsy is only showing the first 250 pages to the world.
