The old search is no longer available. The new Search Page fully replaces the old one. There is no option to switch back to the previous version, and no toggle between old and new.
Why isn't the old Search Page version being kept?
The old search page needed a full rebuild to reach the standard customers and advertisers deserved. Running both versions at the same time would also create a confusing experience for customers, which would ultimately hurt the visibility of your listing.
The new experience is a direct improvement in every area that mattered to you and your customers.
What if customers prefer the old search experience?
Customers who are used to the old page may need a moment to adjust. The layout is different, but everything they could do before — search by keyword, browse by category, filter results, contact advertisers — is still available, just improved and reorganised.
If a customer contacts you directly saying they are having trouble finding listings, you can direct them to the SU version of this Help Centre for step-by-step guidance.
What is being carried forward from the old search?
The following carry forward to the new Search Page experience:
- All listings and their content
- All upgrade levels (Basic, Featured, Highlight, VIP)
- All account settings and billing arrangements
- The adult content age-check — still shown before listings in adult categories
What is not carried forward: numbered page navigation, the old dropdown category selector, and the old filter panel — all three are replaced by better versions.
