Searching
for an Advertisement
The AdNet
database contains advertisements for products and
services loaded by registered agents. To search for a
product (Advertisement) enter your preferences into the
boxes on screen. Move your mouse cursor over the box you
wish to change and click it, then type in your
requirements.
You may leave any fields blank to start with, and if too
many records are returned then enter some more search
fields to narrow down the selection.
Remember that the more requirements you enter the
less records will appear in the result list.
When you have completed the form, click the 
button on the screen. This will send your requirements to
the AdNet computer, which will send back a list of ads
which you can usually view as actual photos of the
product taken with digital cameras by our agents.
Some
Tips On Searching
The system
will find advertisements in direct response to the search
criteria you type into the keyword, classification,
region and price fields.
Keywords
The keywords
you use should best describe the item, business or
service you seek. Use one, two or three obvious words
related to what you are looking for. If you use more than
one word, remember there will be less choice available.
Use short words like "house" rather than
"houses" or "car" rather than
"cars" or "antique" rather than
"antiques". There is also the situation where
someone may have used other words for the same goods and
services.
Classification
This field
is used to describe the category for the type of product
or service you wish to view. In particular, "for
sale" relates to anything for sale such as house,
boat car appliance etc. Some companies are listing their
main product lines as an advertorial in this section as
well.
Region
This selects
the area where the item or service may be. As the
internet is both nationwide and international for many
things, a lot of goods and services appear as a
nationwide listing as they can be provided from anywhere
or couriered to anywhere.
Price.
The most
important part of using price in the search is to make
sure you put in a range of price e.g. $10,000 to $12,000
rather than just $10,000 which will only search for items
listed at $10,000. Many businesses have multiple products
or services and they may not have a price listed. If you
search for these with a price constraint, you may not
find these businesses. Some businesses have pricing in
their text which is not searchable.
Examples of
typical searches:
"Furniture
lounge" and then area "Auckland" or
"Nationwide"
"Car Toyota Corolla" and maybe price
"10,000" to "15,000"
"House Upper Hutt"
"Restaurant Japanese" in area
"Auckland"
As time goes by, we will have many more advertisements
and specific searches could be narrowed down further.
e.g. "House 4 bedroom Brick Epsom"
"$450,000 to $550,000". The main category for
looking at anything available for sale is "for
sale" . Here you can type in the keyword(s) for
anything you may be interested in looking for.
Some of the
typical words you may use in "For Sale":
House, car,
antique, boat, furniture, clothes, gift, accomodation,
hardware, restaurant
