Request: add "since last scan" time value?

garsh · 11-05-2007, 08:44 AM

Currently, we can provide a number of hours when searching for deals (ex. - all price drops > 60% that were detected within the last 8 hours). It would be nice if there was a notion of "the last time I ran a scan" (ex. - all price drops > 60% that were detected after the last time I ran a scan). Currently, I have to remember when I last ran a scan. I'll often end up seeing a result more than once, or possibly missing a result if I'm a little off.

Could this be added somehow?

This would be great.

I think I could add this feature for the "saved searches". So basically it would remember the last time you accessed the search, and only display items that have been added since that time.

Sound good? Thanks for the suggestion!

Yep, sounds good!

Thought I had this completed, but found a bug in it

When the user loads the first page of the search, I overwrote the time of the search, so when the user went to the second page, no items were shown because there weren't any items since the time of the first page...

I'll have to think a bit more about it, but it's on the way
