Artikel suchen

The search field at the top of each page takes both: a search term or an article number. Enter an article number and you will land directly at the article.

Search terms

Multiple words separated by spaces mean: All should appear. Additionally:

• A word sequence is set in quotation marks: it only finds this exact sequence.
• A minus sign excludes: leaves out decorative items. Between two numbers, it's a range: finds the scope "3,5-10x50".

Other spellings are found by: a period or comma in numbers ( = ), caliber with or without a period ( = ), common brand abbreviations ( = , = = , = ) and brand and model in one word (). A term that sellers usually write separately is also found together ( = ), an em dash is treated like a hyphen ( = ), and case-sensitivity does not matter even with umlauts. If there is a typo, "Did you mean …?" suggests the correct spelling.

If a combined entry yields no results, separate the parts: The search for will also find items where the seller has written "5,6 x 50".

Numbers and calibers are considered whole words: finds , but not – otherwise every caliber entry would bring half the list. An enlargement ending in is instead a beginning: finds .

With an @ before the name, you search for the articles of a member: – or , to continue searching within their offers.

Search with filters

Delivers a search too many hits, narrow them down with the filters. On the computer, they are under "Search" open next to the hit list; on the phone, first tap "Advanced Search". You can also use the filters without any search term - for example, to view all non-licensed articles of a category. Restrictions include:

• whether only the title or also the description is searched
• whether only whole words count – "ppk" will then not find "Pappkarton"
• Price from/to, Condition and Country
• Category – multiple at once
• only items with a picture, only licensed or only non-licensed items
• Auction or Immediate Purchase, International Shipping
• Article from a specific seller

Search in your area

Postal code and radius belong together – and the two fields result in three different searches:

• Only the postcode, without a radius – the search is for the beginning of the postcode. So finds everything that starts with 64. That's how the classic view always searched.
• PLZ and "+ 0 km" – exactly this one postal code, nothing else.
• PLZ and a radius - the actual distance to the item, across postcode boundaries. For this, we need a complete postcode. After that, you can sort the results by distance.

If no location can be determined from your input, eGun will search again for the beginning of the postal code and inform you of this above the hit list.

Save search

A search you need often can be saved. Under Saved Searches, you can retrieve it with a tap, and eGun will notify you as soon as a new item fits.

What's different from the classic view?

If a search delivers different results than before, the explanation is usually here.

"My search by postal code finds something different than before."

The postcode alone continues to search for the beginning of the postcode. As soon as you additionally select a radius, eGun searches for the actual distance – see "In Your Area Search".

"My search for a caliber finds fewer results than before."

Numbers are now considered whole words. Therefore, no longer finds every item where appears. If you want to see both, search for – or leave out the number and filter via the category.

"I can't start a search without a search term."

But: Simply set a filter and click on "Search". On the computer, the filters are open, on the phone you first tap on "Advanced Search".

"I can only select one category at a time."

In the advanced search, multiple categories can be selected together.

"The list no longer loads endlessly."

The hits are on pages, with page numbers at the beginning and end of the list. This keeps a hit page linkable, and you no longer lose your place when you open an article and go back.

"Where did the sorting go?"

On the phone, it appears as a selection field above the list, on the desktop as column headers and buttons.

What else you can find

Without a specific offer, a search ad helps: There you describe what you're looking for, and other members will contact you.
