Repeat a search and understand saved-search availability
Return to useful filters through the page address and understand the current limits of saving and alerts.
Where to find it
In this guide
Search includes Recent searches, Saved searches and a Save search window. Saving new conditions across visits and automatically sending alerts from that window are currently unavailable. The Search saved with alerts message does not establish an active subscription. To return to useful conditions, save the results address as a bookmark in your own browser.
Before keeping a result link
- Apply the conditions and wait for results; closing a selection window does not always apply its choices.
- Review link privacy and who can access the browser profile that will hold the bookmark.
Example: repeat a city search
You want to check city listings with video every few days. Apply the city and video conditions, choose an order and bookmark the results in your browser. Open it again to retrieve current listings. The saved-search bell currently does not replace this manual check.
Avoid retaining unnecessary location
A city bookmark does not need your precise coordinates: remove proximity before saving or sharing the link. Revoking location permission does not remove coordinates from an already saved address.
Keep the conditions with a browser bookmark
Set up useful results
Open Search, choose a location and conditions in All filters, then apply them. Wait for the results and check the active chips. The bookmark should capture the applied selection, rather than choices you have not yet submitted from an open filter panel.
Choose the order
Choose a sort order as well; it can be included in the page address. Return to the first results page before saving if that is where you want to start. Changing conditions later produces a different search, while an existing bookmark keeps its earlier selection.
Review the address for private details
If you used Nearby, the address can include coordinates. For a regular city bookmark, remove proximity and keep the city selection. Avoid publishing a link containing your own position. Request text can also form part of the URL, so keep private information out of it.
Add the bookmark
Use your browser’s bookmark or favorites command and give the link a useful name, such as the city and main condition. Menu names vary between browsers. On a shared device, other people using that browser profile may be able to see the saved links.
Open and verify
Next time, open the bookmark and review the active chips, geographic scope and sort order. Listings, prices and availability change. The link repeats conditions; it does not preserve a snapshot of the old results. A removed or unpublished listing can disappear from the selection.
What the current page controls mean
| Save with alerts | The window offers frequency choices, but currently does not create a confirmed saved subscription. Do not rely on this button for an email, push alert or message about new listings. |
|---|---|
| A saved-search bell | A changed bell on this page does not establish a lasting delivery setting. It also does not grant browser notification permission or configure incoming call alerts. |
| Recent and saved suggestions | Do not treat the displayed list as a complete personal account history. When opening a suggestion, review its location, conditions and current result count before using it. |
Questions about returning to results
Will the bookmark work on another device?
The address can be opened elsewhere, while bookmark synchronization depends on your browser. Review coordinates and request text before sharing the link. Signing into FayVay does not automatically transfer browser bookmarks.
Why did the result count change?
A repeated search loads currently published listings. Publication, moderation, owner edits and active conditions affect the result. Compare the filter chips and location first, then try removing one restriction.
Where do I enable incoming call alerts?
Open Dashboard → Settings → Notifications. Calls have an account preference and a separate push control for this device. Those settings do not enable saved-search alerts.
