Search Function Changes?

[Corrose]

So I have both the Hulk Comiquette and Thanos Dio coming in this month. I had a friend here that wanted to see what they look like so I jumped on to SS's website, did a search and nada. In fact when I searched for the keyword "Thanos" it said something about no matches available.

My only guess is that Sideshow decided that if an item is sold out, that you cannot even search for it? Do a search for Hulk and the Dio, PF and Comiquette all do not show up.

Do I need to change a setting or is this how it is? Very annoying.
I had to pull up the discussion thread on each on these forums and open the links there. The pages with the product, description and pics still exist, just not searchable?

Yes, search has changed slightly. In order to find items that are wait listed or sold out, you now need to click the 'Search Wait List' or 'Search Sold Out Products' buttons (found on the left hand side of the search page) once you've begun a search.

For Example I typed in Thanos and clicked on 'go'. On the page that popped up, I clicked on 'Search Wait Lists' and the Thanos and Death Diorama popped up.

Hope that helps.

On a related note if you click "Search Things that Suck" you find all Pippin merchandise that SSC has even sold or distributed.

And oddly enough all sold out. As if people actually snapped them up for their collections.

Hey, how was that Gift Card you acquired.

The best prize I could have asked for in Spooktacular.

So mean.

You love it.

Thanks for the TIP. But WHY would you change something as the search function, which WORKED FINE
