Marketplace Freebie Search...

[Emma Krokus]

I like to see what's new and free and NOT a demo on MP... (this could be a line from a song!).

This has worked nicely up until the last few days - using this search:

Second Life Marketplace

It excludes demos as per the checkable box on lefthand side. And - since people still list demos without linking to the full item (please STOP) -, in the search box I enter NOT DEMOS.

Right now it returns just 2170 items to me and in a very strange order which does not appear to be newest first, despite that having been selected.

If I search for the same without the search term I get 10000+ matching items found and I know the list order is right.

Anyone understand what's wrong or what I'm missing...?

After the fix today, it's now back to normal:)

I'd recommend adding a "boolean operator" "NOT demo" to the search, as there are countless demos which are not marked as such (even though that's against the MP's listing guidelines and is a reportable offense: click the red flag then select "disallowed listing practices" and "demo not linked to full version" )

MP Freebies

all but 2 of the first dozen or so in your search were demos
