Search Criteria ? Not all showing?
Dec 13^th, 2007, 10:37am

I just did a search by 'Kerra Lindsey', (too see what others may see)--and only some of my cards showed up. I understand that the search has something to do with what our 'signature' is that we applied to the card. Not all of my cards are appropriate to put my name on the front--since my signature is in the artwork itself that I uploaded. (Having it twice seems too much).

Is there a way to have the search engine modified to find all the cards by either my name, ie: Kerra Lindsey, or my site name, ie. icansketchu, to have them all show up--and not just based on my signature?

Reply #2 - Dec 13^th, 2007, 11:24am Hi Kerra, As Kirsten said, you can include your name and your store name as keywords for your cards. I noticed that some of your cards say K. Lindsey as the artist. This will prevent those cards from showing up when you search for your full name. Shaun

Thanks, guys. I did go into the card-management section and tried to update all with signature added--full name---and will re-check those keywords.

thanks for your help!

Hi Kerra,
I just realized that I gave you some false info in my post. My apologies embarrassed

We automatically add your store name and artist name to your card's keywords, (it isn't visible, but it's there) so you don't need to add these to the keywords on all your cards.

Changing the artist name K. Lindsey to your full name should correct the issue of all of your cards not showing up.
