If you are STILL missing from SEARCH

[Former_Member]

Most shops on Etsy were affected by the Search Bug issue this weekend. If your shop has still not been fixed, then I have a few suggestions.

1: Identify which listings are not showing up. This will most likely be anything that you renewed or listed yesterday.

2: Edit those listing. Change the quantity, delete and re-add a tag, add a style, or just make some small edit to your listing. Some people have even said you can just hit edit and then save without making any changes at all. This has been helping to make listings reappear faster.

3: By this time you will probably have lost some relevancy due to not showing up for 24 hours, so I would advise renewing the item AFTER you determine that it is showing up again in the searches.

Newbie question. How do i know if I am in search?

the quickest way is to paste your entire item title into the search bar. if your item comes up, then you are in the search.

To see if you are RELEVANT for one of your tags, you can put that tag into the search bar and see what page you are on. Unless your listing is very popular (favorited or purchased a lot) then it will fall back in the list quickly and you will have to renew it often to keep it relevant.

Thank you for this information! I had no idea that this had even happened. I guess I am way behind the times. Also, I now know how to check to see my relevancy. : )
