How do I follow a Live search scan and read its results?
Open Results to see your scans, with how many products each one read and how many passed. Click a scan to open its page.
The top of a scan's page
The scan's name comes first, and the pencil next to it renames it.
| Figure | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Started | When the scan began. |
| Duration | How long it has run. It reads Took once the scan is done. |
| Time left | An estimate at the pace so far. It shows a dash until there's enough to measure. |
| Products read | Products read from the store so far. |
| Checked on Amazon | Products found and priced on Amazon. |
| Products added | Products that passed your filters. |
| Filters used | How many filters the scan applies. |
The first word on that line is the scan's state:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Reading | The store's pages are being read. |
| Pricing | The pages are read, and Amazon is still answering on the products. |
| Checking | The last checks are running, such as sales or whether you can sell the products. |
| Done | Every page was read and every product checked. |
| Paused | You paused it. |
| Queued | Another of your scans is being read. This one starts by itself after it. |
| Resting | The scan is waiting for a while, and the page says why and until when. It carries on by itself. |
Pause, stop and save
- Pause stops the reading until you press Resume. Nothing already read is lost.
- Stop ends the reading. What was read is still checked on Amazon and kept.
- Save filters keeps this scan's filters for your next scan.
The results
The Results card shows how many products pass your filters, out of how many were read, with your filters as chips.
- Category shows one category's products, when the scan has several.
- Sort orders them by Best ROI, Most profit, Best sales, Best rank, Cheapest to buy or Newest.
- Edit filters opens the filters in the card. Change them and press Apply to this scan. They apply to everything already read, so the list changes right away.
When nothing passes, the card says why. Nothing passes your filters yet means Amazon is still answering. No product passed your filters means the scan is done, so loosen a filter and the list updates.
Each product
- You buy shows the store and its price, and You sell shows the Amazon price. View opens each page.
- The chips show the barcode, the ASIN and how the match was made. Click the barcode to copy it.
- Click a picture to see it bigger.
- Click the card to open the product's full analysis.
- The star keeps the product in Favorites, where it stays after the scan is gone.
- Change picks another Amazon listing for the product (fixing a match).
Note: A store's shelf prices can differ from one location to another. Check the price at your own store before you buy.
Scans are kept for two weeks. The products you starred stay in Favorites.
