Announcement: Smarter Vehicle Search is Here

We’re excited to share something we’ve been working hard on. We’ve completely rebuilt the vehicle search engine from the ground up, and we’re really proud of the result. Whether you’re a dealer managing inventory or a customer browsing your dealership website, finding the right vehicle just got a whole lot easier.

Typo-Tolerant Search

We all make typos. The new search engine understands that. It automatically recognizes misspellings of make and model names and finds what you actually meant.

The search terms compare against makes and models in your inventory.

Formatting No Longer Matters

One of the most common frustrations with vehicle search has always been formatting. Is it F-150 or F150? Mercedes-Benz or Mercedes Benz? Now it doesn’t matter. All of these find the same vehicles:

Every vehicle now has a normalized search index that strips out dashes, special characters, and capitalization differences. Your search input gets the same treatment, so the two always line up.

Multi-Word Search

You can now type multiple words and the search will find vehicles that match all of them. This makes it easy to narrow down exactly what you’re looking for without scrolling through pages of results.

• ranger 2020—finds 2020 Ford Rangers
• bronco suv—finds Bronco SUVs
• mercedes sedan 2019—finds 2019 Mercedes sedans
• chevy pickup—finds Chevrolet pickup trucks

Nicknames Work Too

People don’t always use the official manufacturer name. We’ve added support for the most common nicknames so you can search the way you actually talk about cars.

The result is a search that’s faster, smarter, and far more forgiving than what came before. We’re proud to deliver this to every dealership on our platform, and we think it’s a meaningful step forward in how vehicles are found and managed. This is the kind of improvement that reflects our commitment to building tools dealers can actually rely on.
