Terapeak Improvements Coming Soon
I am Andrew E.R. Sukow, CTO at Terapeak.com. This is a quick note to let everyone know some of the great additions coming to Terapeak shortly. We have been listening to everyone’s feedback and comments. We will be adding some new functionality and improvements to Terapeak shortly and will continue to improve Terapeak based on your feedback. Here is a quick list of items that are launching in the next two weeks.
New Research:
- Average Shipping Price: We will be moving “Start Price” down lower and will be replacing it with “Avg. Shipping.” We have heard from our members and agree that knowing the shipping price is valuable. We worked hard to overcome some technical hurdles but will be adding this data very soon.
- Improved Keyword Data: Currently our keyword research can be sparse or missing in certain circumstances. This is a trade-off we made years ago in an effort to improve search speed. We’re proud to say though that with some of our recent hardware purchases we can now boost our keyword research to analyze every single keyword in the result. The keyword section will show rich information for any search term or any seller once this is launched.
- Faster Searches: Search speed will become 2x as fast in the coming weeks. We have put in significant work on our database software and we have purchased cutting edge hardware to boost our search speeds.
- Video Tutorials (with sound): Many people have requested sound to be added to the videos so we are updating our videos with sound video by video and hope to have them fully updated and vastly improved. A sound icon is next to the videos that have sound. These are available now online.
We appreciate everyone’s feedback and invite you to continue to provide feature requests, bug reports, and any type of comment. Please send us your comments.
Sincerely,
Andrew E.R. Sukow

Hi, i am new to terapeak and have been a marketplace customer for 3 years and there are some functions that i used daily to determine what to sell and for how muck. I won’t go down the entire list today, however the first i tried to figure out today is sorting the results to the nearest first. I do not see any way of sorting your product or seller results by distance. Thanks, Ron

Is there now or are you working on being able exclude words in the search? ie: tea cart – wood ? Just started using terapeak so that function may already be there and I haven’t found it yet. Thanks Alex

Hi Alex,
You certainly can exclude words – just make sure that there is no space between the “-” and the word. For example I would type:
ipod -nano
to exclude the keyword “nano”.
Thank you for the great question!

Anyway to get a wildcard search? Such as when people misspell words or words that can be synonomous with each other such as candlestick & candleholder can be searched as candle*?

Hi Shelly,
We offer support for some boolean operators, but do not have the functionality to include misspells or synonyms.
Thank you for visiting our blog and for your suggestions!
Best Regards,
Denise
