I am struggling with the marletplace search.

I was looking for free or cheap Skins to help a newcomer to SL.

Is there any way you can exclude Demo items from the search?

It doesn't help that the search apparently looks at both the title and the description.

 

 

Use boolean terms:

Skin NOT Demo

the 'not' must be all caps.  will eliminate a huge number of them.

The NOT demo operator does not work well because instead of just demo some merchants use things like the following to define their demos:

_demo_
demo
DEMO
DEMO1
IIDEMOII
D+E+M+O
49demo
D E M O
cDEMO
56-DEMO
58-DEMO
60-DEMO
dee.DEMO
D*E*M*O
jeansDEMO
brooks.DEMO
-D E M O-
wells.DEMO

That is just a small sample how demos are defined in the Marketplace.

Naturally the NOT demo does not filter those out. :smileymad: :smileysad:

And all of those with the exception of "DEMO" ( regardless of case used) should be categorized as key words spam.

And given LL's illustrious and magnanimous and eminent and distinguished and acclaimed and notable and noteworthy and prominent and preeminent and foremost and leading and important and influential and renowned and famous and well known and celebrated and legendary and esteemed and honored and respected and venerable and august and highly regarded and well-thought-through and brilliant and glorious and stellar ability to filter Adult Content, you'd think they could do the same with Key Word Spam.  ;)
