Enable search of Item Descriptions
My store only sells precancels. Many collectors only collect their home state, or a particular state. Someone asked about Nebraska precancels, so I tried to search "Nebraska" in my store but no listings were returned even though I know there are 124 of them.
Investigating further I found that the search function seems to only work for the Item Title and not the description. In this case I have "NE" in the Title and "Nebraska" in the description. This is to save space since the title has a character limitation. Here is an example:
https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/omaha-ne-639-41-bureau-precancel-7c-mckinley/32277880
Could Hipstamp enable search of the Descriptions? I bet many believe that they are searching there, but they really don't seem to be unless I'm wrong, which might be also.

I have on my title page for my store, that the best way to search my store is by using the Stae abbreviations: CA, VA, OR. But your right, a search should catch everything, not just the Title. And the ability to make catagories within our stores would be awesome.

"the best way to search my store is by using the Stae abbreviations: CA, VA, OR." There are exceptions. I've found that searching on state abbreviations such as OR and IN don't always work very well.
