Listing Searchability
Understand which listing state and catalog facts can make a record visible in AutoCore search.
Searchability is a derived public projection, not a synonym for “row exists.” The public query condition requires an active, non-deleted listing and an active, publicly filterable category. Dealer storefront queries apply the same active listing rules within the dealer scope.
Searchable facts
The query contract supports catalog identifiers, seller context, dealer verification, price, year, mileage, power, engine displacement, currency, condition, color, warranty, damage, trade eligibility, plate origin, location, equipment, and media-presence filters. The exact filter set is market- and edition-sensitive where the source says so.
Visibility consequences
active is the public listing state. reserved and sold remain meaningful
domain states but are not part of the public active-listing condition used by
the public search path. Expired, rejected, archived, soft-deleted, or
category-ineligible records must not be represented as current public inventory.
Search results may be served by Meilisearch or PostgreSQL fallback. Both paths return the same response contract; the response source identifies which backend served the query.
