No sort option for saved Searches

Hi there, when I save a search & later click on that Saved search, you don’t get any sort options, so it would be handy to have that option, thanks.

This suggestion was passed across to the team and it has been noted. At present, members are shown the newest listings first, and notifications are sent when there are new sits that match the search criteria. Additional sort options may be available in the future.

Can I add that I no longer seem to have the option to sort by “distance” from my selected city — and that it seems to be the case even when I’m doing an ad-hoc search that isn’t being saved? Has that extremely useful feature been removed for some reason? And if so, can we please have it back?

Among other shortcomings with Search, I don’t have the ability to specify a maximum perimeter/distance when specifying my desired location — so this ‘sort by distance’ feature is a very necessary option if I need to be close to a particular town or other destination.

It’s very frustrating to search for sits in Victoria BC (which is on an island), & have sits in Port Angeles or Port Townsend WA show up (different landmass, different country; requires hours+car-ferries+border crossings & passports to travel from one to another.)

Any help you could provide in getting this to product management & development would be greatly appreciated! :blush:

Very much agree! I’ve traveled in Victoria too - it’s almost listings from the entire Island (which is big) and addional US locations that comes up when searching :sweat_smile: I’m no longer traveling there or in this continent - however, listings and suggestions in Northamerica still pops up as the first thing when opening the app. Despite removing favourites and current location in that country and being 9000km away in a different continent. They might as well suggest ‘..I’d love..’ something in Brazil or Australia :sweat_smile: @Maeve please pass this on too

The weirdest thing — I’ve just been searching again, and now sometimes the “distance” sort option shows up, sometimes it doesn’t…even for the same destination search. Doesn’t seem to matter whether there’s additional filters included or if it’s a straight-up destination search. Just…random. :thinking::woman_shrugging::persevering_face:

That’s weird..does that happen in the app or browser? I’ve just tried searching in chrome - apparently have an upcoming stay at London Museum, very exiting :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Fair question; I use the app 99.5% of the time. In fact I can’t even remember doing a search on the web interface.

One of these days (likely on a lonely sit with a shy cat) I’m going to go into “QA Manager” mode and do a thorough test of search on the app & the major browsers and document my findings for posterity :joy:
