bringatrailer_search
Search Bring a Trailer listings, model pages, past auctions with final prices, events, and stories by keyword; filter by section and page through the results.
Instructions
Search Bring a Trailer. Runs Bring a Trailer's site search and returns the matching live listings, make and model pages, previous auctions (sold, reserve not met and withdrawn, with final prices), past events and editorial stories, each with its own total. section narrows the response to one list and pages through it; every list pages 12 rows at a time except previous auctions at 24, and live listings (up to 100, repeated on every site page) come back only on page 1. A term that is exactly a make, model or category name (Ferrari, BMW 2002, boat) makes the site redirect to that page: the response then carries redirect and empty lists, and phrase=true runs the search instead. Member profiles are never returned.
