Left Navigation Filter Options
You can now filter your search results! By using the left navigation panel, you can further narrow your search down by location, price, auction type, seller, or other. This enhancement provides greater flexibility resulting in a more enjoyable and efficient search experience.
Refined Timing Filter
Our timing filter has undergone a makeover. We’ve added new date range selections and updated our date picker. Now, when you select a timing option, only applicable dates based on your filter criteria will display. For example, when searching for sold assets, no future dates will show as an option to select. If an invalid date is selected, you will see a message advising you to change your dates.
Expanded Sold Options
We've also expanded the options available from the “Sold” filter. In addition to the standard date range, you can now filter by a custom date or choose one of the several new options like today, last 7 days, month to date or other. You can even select a custom date range!
Search Specific Vehicles
The vehicle search feature remains the simplest and most efficient way to find active vehicle listings on our site. Just select from a list of available make, model, and year to find your next purchase.

Price as a Type-In Field
We’ve also revamped the price search parameters. Instead of selecting from predefined ranges, you can now type in the exact price you’re interested in. So if you're working with a budget you can easily filter your selections by specific dollar amounts!
Improved Page Visibility
Finally, to enhance the overall viewing experience, we’ve added divider lines between selections on the search results page. These subtle visual cues make it easier to distinguish between different sections so you can focus on what matters most.
Tip: Smart Category and Seller Fields
Navigating through long lists can be tedious. Don’t forget that the Category and Seller fields are type-ahead input fields. As you start typing, the system will intelligently suggest relevant categories and seller names. No more endless scrolling—just efficient searching!
**REMINDER** Any search you populate from Advanced Search can be saved and accessed whenever you visit GovDeals. Learn more about our new Saved Search feature.
