Overview
Search
Search is one box in the Repricer header that finds a listing, a strategy or a connected account and takes you to the screen that thing is on.
Search is one box that looks through three things at once and takes you to the one you name. You type a few letters, and a grouped list comes back: your listings first, then your strategies, then the accounts you have connected. Click a row and it opens.
Most people use search when they know what a listing is called, or know its SKU, and scrolling the listings table would take longer than typing. It is also the quickest way to get to another part of the Repricer, because the same list gives you a set of screens to jump to alongside your own records. Nothing you do here changes a price, a strategy or a connection, so there is nothing to break by typing into it.
You open search from Search, the button in the header to the right of the page title, and that button is on every screen. Search then fills the page: a box replaces the page title, and your results fill everything under it.
Before you start
Everyone in your organization searches the same listings, strategies and accounts. Your role does not hide any of them from you, and it does not change what matches. What it changes is where a result can take you next.
Two destinations are for the Admin role only. Integrations and Billing are in an Admin’s list of places to jump to, and in nobody else’s.
A result for one of your connected accounts works differently. Every role gets those rows, and clicking one opens your integrations screen for an Admin and Home, the Repricer’s front page, for everybody else. The Repricer has four roles, and team, roles and permissions is where they are set.
How to search
Open search
Click
Searchin the header, to the right of the page title, from whatever screen you are on.Ctrl+Kdoes the same from anywhere in the Repricer, or⌘Kon a Mac.Type what you are looking for
A box has replaced the page title at the top left, with your cursor already in it. Type at least 2 characters, because nothing is searched below that.
Read the list
Your results arrive together, in groups. Your own records come first, one group per kind, and the screens you can jump to come after them.
Open the one you want
Click any row. The top row is already highlighted, so pressing
Enteropens the closest match without touching your mouse.
That is the whole flow. Opening a result closes search and takes you to the screen that thing is on. Your search is added to a short list you see next time your box is empty.
Everything below explains what search reads, what each row is telling you, and where it stops. You do not need any of it to find a listing by its SKU.
Every option in detail
Opening and closing search
Search is in the header, to the right of the page title and of whatever control that screen puts beside it, and it is there on every screen. Next to the word is a small key badge reading Ctrl+K, or ⌘K on a Mac. That badge is hidden in a narrow window and on a phone, and the button itself is not.
Pressing that shortcut anywhere in the Repricer opens search, and pressing it again closes it. So does Esc, and so does Close, the button to the right of the search box while search is open. All three put you back on the page you came from, and none of them keeps what you typed, so your box is empty the next time you open it.
What you type goes into the address bar as you type it. So a search is something you can bookmark or send to a teammate, and opening that address runs it again.
What search looks through
Search reads three kinds of record at the same time. Each kind gets its own group in the list, under a header naming it, and the groups always come back in this order.
Those three cover every integration you have connected and every marketplace inside it, so one search gets you a listing wherever you sell it. Nothing narrows the list to one integration or one account.
A strategy that is not set for one account has no second line, so the word Strategy is under it instead.
What finds a listing
Your SKU and your Product ID find their listing. Both are on the second line of every listing row. Both match on a part of themselves, so half a SKU is enough, and Amazon listings also answer to their FNSKU.
The product title and the brand find it too. Type what the product is called and its listings come back. Type a brand and every listing under that brand comes back.
A near miss still finds it. Accents are ignored, so cafe finds Café. One wrong letter is forgiven, so shrit finds a shirt. Two wrong letters in the same word is usually too far, and you get nothing.
Part of a word is enough. pho finds iPhone, wherever those letters are inside the name.
Everything a listing search reads, and what it puts on top
A listing matches on its SKU, its Product ID, its FNSKU, its product title and its brand. Those count in that order, so a listing whose SKU you typed comes above one that only has your word somewhere in its title.
The same listing on two marketplaces is two listings, and both come back. Each row shows the logo of the integration it is on, which is how you tell the two apart.
Jumping to another screen
Alongside your records, search gives you a fixed set of places in the Repricer. They come back in three groups, and they always come below your own records.
A destination answers to what it is about, not only to its name. Each one has a few extra words that also match it. So csv and spreadsheet find Imports and Exports, dark mode and theme find Appearance, margin finds the Profitability Report, and rules finds Strategies. Those extra words follow the language you use the Repricer in, and one wrong letter is forgiven here too.
Five of the Settings destinations take you out of the Repricer. Profile, Security, General, Team and Billing all open the account app. That is where your name, your organization, your team and your plan are kept. Notifications and Appearance are the Repricer’s own two, and they open in a dialog over the page you are on.
The six reports you can open from search
Sales Report, Buy Box Ownership Report, Price Changes Report, Profitability Report, Repricing Health Report and Units Sold Report.
Each one opens the report itself. Reports, in the Pages group above, opens the screen that lists all six instead.
Where each row takes you
An account row is the one that does not open the thing on the row. It takes you to your integrations screen, where you pick the account yourself. For every role except Admin it takes you to Home instead, because the integrations screen is the one screen a role below Admin cannot open.
Recent searches
Open search and leave the box empty, and the list under it shows what you searched for before, under a group header reading Recent Searches.
A search is remembered only once you open one of its results. That keeps your list to the searches that worked, instead of a record of everything you have ever typed. Opening a destination counts too, so opening Appearance from search puts the word you typed on your list the same way opening a listing does. Your last 10 searches are kept, newest at the top, and each one is dropped after 30 days.
Clicking a recent row puts that text back in your box and runs it again. It opens nothing, so a recent search is a shortcut to a search and never a shortcut to a listing.
Clear all is on the right of the Recent Searches header and empties your whole list. Remove is on the right of each row and drops that one search.
Where your recent searches are kept, and who else can see them
They are kept in the browser you are using, and kept separately for each organization. So the list you get in one organization is not the list you get in another, and switching between them switches the list.
They do not follow you to another computer or to another browser, and no teammate ever sees them.
Moving through the list without the mouse
The top row is highlighted the moment your results arrive, so typing and then pressing Enter opens the closest match. Moving your mouse over a row moves the highlight onto it, which means the row under your cursor is the row Enter will open.
Those last three keys are printed along the bottom of the screen, in a strip that appears only once your list has something in it.
Limits
What search cannot do
What the result list shows you
Two things about the list surprise people the first time. It never gives you more than 8 rows of any one kind, and the number above it is not the number of matches you have.
The order the groups come in
Your own records come first, listings at the top, then strategies, then your connected accounts. The three groups of destinations follow them. Inside a group the closest match is at the top, so the list is ordered by how well each row answers what you typed and not alphabetically.
Everything arrives at once. Search waits until you stop typing before it runs. It then keeps your whole list back until every part is ready, so you never watch one group appear and another follow a moment later.
What each row tells you
Every row shows the logo of the integration it is on at the far left, then a name, with a second line under the name. What that second line shows depends on the kind, and the three-kind table further up this page says which.
A listing’s price is the price it is live at, in the currency of the marketplace it is on. A listing with no price yet shows none.
The state on the right of a listing row and of an account row is written the way it is stored, in English and with an underscore in place of the space. So a listing the Repricer cannot reprice reads NOT_WORKING, and an account that needs reconnecting reads NEEDS_REAUTH. Your listings table writes the same states as ordinary words.
Eight per kind, and that is the whole list
Each of the three groups gives you at most 8 rows, and there is nothing to click for the rest. There is no paging, no button for the whole set, and no way to tell search you only want listings.
So a word matching 300 listings gives you 8 of them. Those 8 are the closest matches and not the first 300 cut short, which means a precise query still puts the right listing on top. When 8 is not enough, either type something narrower or open the table for that kind and filter it. Filters covers the narrowing that search deliberately leaves alone.
The two counters
Above your list is a line reading how many results came back and how many milliseconds your search took. The same count appears again in the bottom right of the strip along the bottom of the screen.
Both of them count your own records only, and they count them after the 8-per-group limit. On the query matching 300 listings, both read 8. Neither one counts the Pages, Reports and Settings rows, so a search that finds nothing of your own and two destinations reads 0 with two rows under it.
When something goes wrong
When nothing comes back
No results found fills the screen whenever your list is empty. When you are sure the thing exists, four things account for almost all of it.
- It is behind the limit. A common word buries what you want under 7 closer matches, so type something narrower.
- You typed something search does not read. A barcode, a description, a condition and a fee find nothing, however exactly you type them.
- It is not one of the three kinds. Imports, exports, schedules, saved views, price changes and your teammates are not searched.
- The listing is not in this organization. Search covers the organization you are working in, so switch it in the sidebar and try again.
A second typo in the same word also misses, since one wrong letter is as far as a match goes.
One case looks like a failure and is not. At exactly 1 character you get No results found, because 2 is the floor and nothing has been searched yet. A second character brings your list back.
The states you can end up on
Something went wrong also covers being asked to slow down. Past 100 searches in a minute yours are rejected until that minute is out, and the message reads the same as any other failure. Typing alone will not get you there, because a search runs once you pause instead of once per key.
