With over 300,000 ads on DoneDeal at any one time it's super important that you can search and find the most relevant results for you. So really you need to use the search to best suit your needs.
In order to start your search you could just type in a key word search, like "red dress" for example. You'll see then that it will return all the ads with reference to a red dress on the entire website.
When you're looking for something really specific, it's best to try and look in an individual section where possible.
We have tried to adapt the search to suit the items in this section. So, sticking to the "red dress" example, if you go into women's clothes specifically we allow you to refine your search further by "size" which we hope will help you find more suitable dresses faster!
Then if you want to sort this for your own preference you can see the cheapest items at the top or the newest ones... whichever works best for you. You're free to change it at any stage by selecting from the dropdown menu.
So, what's the difference between sort and filter?
Filter
You filter your search to find exactly what you’re looking for. A tip is to make sure that you’re in the right section to get the best possible refining options, especially if you’re browsing for something like cars that have a lot of specific filter options.
Sort
You can sort your search results to view them in your preferred way. When you use a keyword search DoneDeal will give you the ads that best match your search term at the top. You can easily change this to match your preference. Chose between newest, best match or sort by price.
