How search works
Type the way you would say it. Everylot picks the year, make, model, price cap, mileage cap and zip out of the sentence and runs one query across every dealer lot in the index.
The search box takes a sentence, not a form. 2019 4runner under 35k near 33460 becomes Toyota 4Runner, model year 2019, price at most $35,000, sorted by distance from zip 33460. manual miata becomes Mazda MX-5 Miata with a manual transmission. f-150 4wd under 60k miles becomes Ford F-150, four-wheel drive, at most 60,000 miles.
What gets picked out
- Years: a single year (2019), a range (2017-2020), or an open end (2018+).
- Money: under 35k, below $20,000, over 10k. A bare number with a k or a dollar sign is money; a bare five-digit number is a zip code.
- Mileage: under 60k miles, 60000 mi. The word miles (or mi) is what tells us it is not a price.
- Location: a five-digit zip, optionally with near or within 100 miles. Without a zip, results sort newest first and come from everywhere.
- Make and model, with typos tolerated: toyta 4runer still finds Toyota 4Runners. Bare models resolve to their make.
- Transmission (manual, automatic), drivetrain (awd, 4wd), fuel (hybrid, diesel, electric) and body type (truck, suv, convertible).
Anything left over is matched as a word against the listing's title and trim, so limited or trd narrow to those trims. The interpretation shows in the first row of the suggestion menu as you type, so you can see what we understood before you press Enter.
When nothing matches exactly
A small index means an exact combination can come up empty. Rather than a blank page, the results say what was loosened: first the year, then the price cap, then the mileage cap, then the distance, then the extra details. The note above the results tells you which one we dropped so you can decide whether the close matches are close enough.
