Sub-Search Terms

Sub Search Terms #

Sub Search Terms can be used to reduce the overall load on your local PC and increase the likelihood of finding items faster. Sub Searches are basically local “child” filter searches extracted from a main “parent” search term.

Ex: If you’re searching for the following 6 items that are all related:

• iPhone 6s Verizon 16GB
• iPhone 6s Verizon 32GB
• iPhone 6s Verizon 64GB
• iPhone 6s Sprint 16GB
• iPhone 6s Sprint 32GB
• iPhone 6s Sprint 64GB

In this case, uBuyFirst would have to make 6 separate unique searches for one main item that has 6 item specific variants.

You could make one main parent search term for the following:

• iPhone 6s (Verizon,Sprint)

With child search terms:

• Verizon 16GB
• Verizon 32GB
• Verizon 64GB
• Sprint 16GB
• Sprint 32GB
• Sprint 64GB

In this case, the main parent search term would retrieve all results related to “iPhone 6s (Verizon,Sprint) and local filters would separate them out into the 6 different variants.

Why use this feature?

• More concurrent searches increase the likelihood of finding results sooner.
• Reduce load on local PC and uBuyFirst servers will results in finding results sooner.
• Separate out product variants that have different price points without sacrificing speed.
