Hello, Mr. Everett. When I search the classifieds within 25 miles of my ZIP I get 1000 plus search results. These are allover the country. If I search in my exact ZIP it works, but beyond that it gives 1000 plus results.

What are you entering on the form?

I entered zip code 01089 that I found in one of your ads and I get 80 results
All I am entering is the zip code and the search radius, nothing else:

That's exactly what I first did and got 1000 + results. Just tried it again and now it works. Strange!

Someone emailed me at the same time as you posted with the same issue.

I have tried to recreate this a bunch of times and could not.

Let me know if it happens again.

I searched to find this issue because I was also having the same problem. I would put my zip code in and get basically a nationwide search for the model I was looking for. After reading that the above person 'tried it again' and it worked, I looked closer at the form and found that Chrome had been autofilling the box for "OR Country" and adding USA. So, while the zip was correct, the Country box was overriding and giving me a complete nationwide search (USA).

Hope this helps anyone that has this issue!

Thanks for posting that solution.

Someone else asked me that recently too but they never got back to me with how they figured it out.

My Chrome doesn't auto-fill that box so it is probably something you can clear in the browser settings.
