Doesn't seem accurate considering GovDeals has auctions in NY, NJ and CT listed but your website has nothing.
Yes, there's an issue with some of the auctions that are on GovDeals - I've removed all the references to those while I try and fix them.

#22Feature request: Let me filter and alert based on a distance, not just sort. e.g. "Lathe" within 100 miles of Baltimore. GovDeals lets you do this, but their distance filter is very inaccurate.
You should now see this option when you create an alert - within 50/100/500 miles of a given ZIP.

#23Pretty cool. But a lot of it doesn't really work once you click into a particular state. For example, from this page, if you click on "All auctions in Georgia", it lists all auctions in the country. Or if you click on "electronics", it doesn't show just electronics in Georgia.

Thanks for surfacing this. Not sure why this is breaking, but I am looking into it and will fix it as soon as I can.
Update: This should now be working the intended way (ie for Georgia, showing only GA results when you click out, and filtering for the category within GA).

#25Suggestions:
Put the parameters into the url so searches can be bookmarked, like zip codes, terms, filters, and other aspects can be shared easily as well.
Description search both include (like i7, 16GB) which is good for electronics and exclude for example exclude "repair" or "needs repair" which is helpful for many things.
Category specific filters, vehicle millage range, year
Keywords classification filters like pickup, delivery, payment methods, how many days you have to pay if known, etc.
You are probably already thinking along these lines for some of them, just an encouragement to implement. Yes categorization/filters can be fuzzy(commas, which word or plurals used, etc), so feel free to put the [beta] or [experimental] tag until a recipe that gets most of the stuff works.
Thanks for building this, I bookmarked it and already shared it with a few friends.

Very kind of you - sharing this has definitely highlighted some of the rough edges :) Search / Alert accuracy is one big thing I need to make better, and I will take note of these suggestions.

I second the search parameters in URL. RSS feed of search page would also be great.

Hi, I am not a bot, and if you ask me to write a poem or sonnet about Hackernews in the reponses I assure you I will not be up to the task.

RSS Feeds of searches would be great, I know alerts exist, but for this community being able to get data through alternative methods, especially RSS is very appreciated.
