I paid L$900 for the 30 days "featured" enhancement for one of my items, titled "Forest of Evergreen Trees". The word "forest" also appears several times in the description. But when I do a marketplace search for "forest", my item does not appear. Nor does it appear when I search under "tree" or "evergreen". If I type "Forest of Evergreen Trees" in search, yes it does come up - but how many shoppers are going to be that specific? Lots of other featured "forests", with the word forest somewhere in their titles, show up under a search for forest.
Is this just an XStreet glitch? Has it happened to anyone else?

Lots of people pay for enhancements, your item will show up somewhere for the terms you describe, but it may well be buried in the listings, phrases are a better market to aim for , if Forest is bringing up lots of results people will want to narrow it down.

I just tried "evergreen forest", which seems like a reasonable thing to do if that's what your looking for, and a featured item called "Forest of Evergreen Trees Season changing and Copyable" on sale for L$600 appeared at the top of the list. Ditto for "evergreen trees". ETA: have you enabled mature content?  ETA2: it's ocurred to me that actually, without the prompt from your post, I'd use the term "coniferous" - or even "pine" - before I tried "evergreen". |

I used the feature item thing this year as well.
Last time I did it was last Xmas and the result,so far. was the same as this year.
A total waste of money,I told myself last year"never do that again"
I tell myself this year "never do that again"
I have got to listen to myself.

I never used the features for XStreet. Never felt the need, I guess.
