With better functionality and usability, the revamped tool provides more exact matches, smarter and faster advanced searches, and more relevant results.

Key improvements include:

  • We show the most relevant TLDs based on your market

Smarter & Faster Advanced Search

  • Search with our advanced filters based on traffic, price range, TLD, when domains were listed for sale, what type of listing it is, and more
  • Advanced search results are displayed faster than ever
  • Non-keyword searches deliver take into account advanced word-splitting and synonyms, and so deliver better results

Improved usability

  • Advanced filters are more visible, simpler, and can be used in any combination
  • Exact matches and the most applicable TLDs are displayed more prominently

For domain investors, our advanced filters are a valuable tool for searching Sedo�s inventory based on specific criteria, and in any combination. Filters can be also be used without having to input a keyword. For end users, the new search performs more complex searches more quickly, and displays the most relevant results more prominently.

  1. Unfortunately the filters didn’t work well before the upgrade and still don’t after. For example, if you setup a filter for domain names in certain TLDs currently on auction, the search will always return ALL auctions, including TLDs you didn’t select.

  2. Sedo has been buggy for a while, I just stopped using it all together, if it had a better platform, I would probably search more there, and make more purchases like I used to.

    I maybe visit the site once a month, compared to almost every other day before.

    Sad when an former industry leader continues to drop the ball.

  3. Sedo is a joke period, new search sucks.

    I was looking at their criteria for “what will likely be the most successful 10 new gtlds based upon … ” criteria they neglect to use everyday, but suddenly has value.

    Past assessment:

    You can find afmapweorf.com is “a great value as a .com” and “a steal at a 4 figure price” but “shop.whatever” has no value because it’s not a .com

    Current assessment:

    .shop has great value because of it’s inherent properties as a term, blah, blah, blah.

    Self-serving idiots depending on the day and the mood, not FACTS.

  4. Sedo has now serious issues: if you search for names on auction

    [ sedo.co.uk/search/searchresult.php4?tracked=&partnerid=&language=e&listing_type=marketplace_auctions_only ]

    you will even see closed auctions with a negative number in the remaining time field.
