It is my understanding that the new item search feature is available now. How do I search by item?

Why wouldn't you just type in the name of the item you wanted??

You don't own the land, and the land is not listed in search places. That is why it didn't show up. If the land was listed in search places, it would show up.

so, if you rent land for commercial use, your stuff for sale won't appear in the directory?

It depends. I had my landlord set up my land in my name and I paid him to include it in search. If you rent in a mall that is not an option and it looks like for now you are SOL. With all the malls and shopping plazas theres going to need to be a change made somewhere.

1: The land has to be set to "Show in Search", which costs the owner of the land L$30 per week. This could be your landlord, in the case of rented comercial property.

2: You must set the "Show in Search" propertu of the item to be checked.

3: It takes AT LEAST three days for the search engine to see a change. And there are entire parcels and individuals who STILL do not show up!

4: It's still a beta of the real search function. Don't trust it to be accurate or complete, because it is neither.

It will if the land is set to show in search. I.E. "Show in Search->Places" is checked on.

Search for the items on SLX, and then SLURL to their in-world store.
