I didn't really take notice of this until the past few days. There used to be "Find places" and the "Classifieds". Now there is the "All" menu. So I try out a few search words in the ALL menu. I type in clothing, and my store doesn't even show up at all. I type in skirts and that works fine. I don't understand why I wouldn't show up for clothing though because it comes up in the Find tab (eventually page 2 perhaps). Plus with everything being alphabetical, it makes now sense to name your store with the letter "Z". Anything with A or even a "!" comes up first on the list. Plus with this new menu, it almost makes paying for classifieds not worth as much as it used to be. The number of teleports showing up on my classifieds has dropped a lot. I just don't see how it is worth the price anymore when many people will be using the "All" menu too now. I should post a poll for how shoppers search for things, but it wouldn't accurately reflect what most people use anyways.

I think people who are looking for specific things (like clothing) will still head to the places tab. That is the only place people can sort by traffic or sort out all the clutter and go right to the stores. Searching for specific products or places using the "all" tab is usually rather unweildy. Have I used the "all" tab? Yeah, but usually that's because I'm too lazy to head to the "people" tab

The "all" tab isn't a recent addition - I've been using it as my preferred search tab for a long time.

What annoys me is that when I open the window, my cursor is still in the chat bar rather than the search field. But then, interface is not LL's forte.
