    Search tips

    By default, Readysell searches for words beginning with the text you enter. For example, searching for "paper" will match both "paper" and "paperback", but it will not match "newspaper".

    You can use the % wildcard to enhance your search. For example, searching for "%paper" will match "paper", "paperback" and "newspaper".

    You can also search for more than one word at a time. It does not matter which order you enter the words in - "red A4 paper" will return the same results as "A4 paper red".
