I had the same problem. I think it has to do with your browser's form data. Try clearing the data or resetting the browser. |

The location fields are ORs.
Enter the zip code stuff ONLY if you want to search around your zip code.
If you pick CA it does all of CA and ignores the zip code
If you pick USA it search all of USA and ignores zip and state
Also:
Do you mean you are searching for the words Karmann Ghia?
This will find only those ads where the person put Karmann Ghia in the title.
It would be better to select the Vehicles - Ghia category (for cars only) or the Parts - Ghia category (for parts only) or both of those, if you want everything that is Ghia.
Not everyone will user Karmann or even Ghia, some people just put things like seat because it's already in the Ghia category.
Some people also cannot spell Karmann or Ghia correctly
Example of searching all Ghias around the zip you mentioned:
1. Select Vehicles - Ghia
2. Enter zip code - 90807
3. Select Within 25 miles
4. Hit Search
P.S. For people who like data, some results using the above as of right now:
1. Using the exact search above - 19 results
2. Using the search above but also searching on Ghia in the title - 18 results
3. Using the search above but also searching on Karmann Ghia in the title - 15 results
Result: You can see it's better to exclude the words Karmann Ghia. _________________ How to Post Photos

Your browser is autofilling the Country field.
You can still change that field back to All and it will work.
If you want that to stop being autofilled:
Changing it and doing a search may reset your browser.
Or you may have to go into the web browser settings and turn off autofill altogether or at least turn off the filling of country/full street addresses. _________________ How to Post Photos
