Classifieds still not working

You've said that "Search Places" is broken and offline til Monday at the earliest. Fine, I can accept that. But I (like many "content providers" in SL) pay weekly for "Classified Ads". Unlike place listings, we're PAYING for our advertisements to be searchable by potential customers.

The problem is, that Classifieds are no longer properly searchable. My ad title (the only searchable part) has my store name, and my name in it.. and that's it (other than the word "by"... all of my traffic comes from the good use of keywords in the body of the classified ad. Now, unless someone KNOWS to look for my name, or my shop name, my ad.. my store.. might as well not even exist on the grid.

I'm not paying much for my ads.. but many friends are paying upwards of 1000-5000 per WEEK, for multiple ads. Classified search hasn't worked since Wednesday.. Wednesday-to-Monday, that's 5 days..

Can we look forward to being "Comp'd" a week for the cost of our paid ads?

Friendly greetings Winter, I know exactly what you mean and I replied to this earlier too:
