Hello, when I type outfit or dress in marketplace searches, the results have been the same for days. I would be glad if you could take care of this problem.

My marketplace "Relevance" and "Best Selling" lists have not changed for about a month. Independence Day products aren't selling, yet they're high on the list. I would like these " Relevance" and " Best Selling" lists to be updated daily.
Is it difficult to update these marketplace listings daily?

HELP with Marketplace search

Gachas are making many searches WAY frustrating by burying anything other than gachas. See: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/524033-marketplace-sorting/
Consider adding an A.I. search feature. Possibly only for Premium and Premium+ users.

This feature is kind of already there. After you search something, on the left where the categories are, at the bottom where you can filter your results by permissions (mod, copy, transfer), there's a section called "Do not show" with a checkbox to hide limited quantity items and/or demo items. I use that constantly to hide gacha items. You have to turn it on each time you search, but it would be nice if we had the option in settings to turn it on or off permanently.

Hiding gacha should be enabled by default instead of disabled. Enabling it assumes people are looking for gacha by default when most people aren't. I worry most people don't understand gacha, especially new users which can alienate new users who spend L$ on gacha by mistake.
Search should remember your settings, including showing gacha persistently between sessions by saving search settings as account data in the server database so search is consistent across devices.
Showing gacha by default harms original content creators by allowing resellers to create huge amounts of listings (some gacha stores have over 10,000 listings), makes search difficult by adding lots of irrelevant and duplicate results. Gacha listings are usually very low quality often only having a description that's the item name and a disclaimer there is no support or refunds because they didn't make the item and is no copy. A lot of gacha listings are very old, like 5 or 10+ years older. this means they've never sold once since they are limited quantity and will probably never ever sell since they are outdated.
The only benefit to showing limited quantity items by default is to appease gacha resellers.

Flea Yatsenko note that the request for adding dates to the listings is also a separate feature request: https://feedback.secondlife.com/web-features/p/creation-date-in-marketplace-items (make sure you add your vote there, too!)

No need to complicate the code with AI. We have checkboxes for settings such as permissions, demos, limited-quantity items, etc. Right now those settings are per-search. All they need to do is make it possible for us to make those settings permanent/persistent

Lucifera Morningstar sometimes, "complicating with AI"
can
actually simplify things for users
. Imagine having the ability to write as a search query something like "give me a list of the most popular frilly dresses, appropriate for a fancy and elegant cocktail party, in the colour beige, and fitting the Maitreya LaraX mesh body".Any half-decent LLM/GPT can do that kind of search very easily without "complicating" things further.
And
if the AI-generated listing is too long, you would always
be able to use the existing
filtering options to prune it down to a manageable size.SixDigital Resident
You can click the filter lower left to not show limited quantity items and get them all out. https://gyazo.com/d0426381b50e318c2879ba9e80162a0d

If your search query stays the same and what's on offer stays the same, wouldn't it follow that the search results stay the same also? Unless I misunderstand your canny.

Vulcan Viper I believe the assumption is that every day (or every hour, in fact) a search for "dresses", ordered by "newest first",
should
produce different results...Belzebubble Resident
its super broken. I was wondering why my sales went down by over 50% on MP. My items hardly show anymore. I'm sure I have all the keywords and titles. 2 months ago if I typed in "bikini", my items were all over page 1 now the first of my items that pop up is on page 5 and not even a bikini and does not have bikini in title or keywords. if you sort on highest rating hight to low, lower rated items show first. and so on. I really hope you'll fix this
