search places problem?

I am wondering what I am going wrong -- I have a string of keywords in my property description ( like antique furniture texture victorian sound...) but when I do a search places my property doesn't get listed for "texture" or "furniture" -- though it does get listed for victorian.

But in other peoples' places, if they have "texture" in their description, then their place shows up in the list I get when I search on that keyword (though mine doesn't)

Is there some trick I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Recently they cut the number of results search returns considerably. They rank the search results according to amount paid for classifieds and traffic on the land (depending on which category you are searching in). With common words like 'texture' or 'furniture', there's going to be more possible results than search allows, so your odds of not having paid a sufficient amount for a classified, or having high enough traffic to make the cutoff are much higher. It now costs me over L$2k a week to ensure my shop shows up in Search/All under 'furniture' - before I appeared with an L$50 ad.
