# How to Search by Specific Item Number

Searching by a specific item number allows you to quickly locate products without relying on keyword matches. Whether you’re tracking an upcoming listing or checking the status of a known item, this guide explains the two ways to find items using their unique ID numbers.

## Option 1: Standard Search Using Item Numbers

The simplest method is to use the **search bar** as you normally would, but enter **item numbers instead of keywords**.

### Steps:
1. Go to Home > Keywords.

2. Enter the **item number** in the Keywords (e.g., `1234567890` or **Xbox**).

3. If you want to search for **multiple items**, separate each item number with a **comma** (e.g., `Xbox One, Xbox, Xbox 360`).

### Note:

* The **search input field supports up to 350 characters**.
* This means you can include multiple item numbers, provided the total character count (including commas) does not exceed 350 characters.

## Option 2: Create a Filter to Highlight Specific Item Numbers

If the item you’re searching for is expected to appear in a **broader search** (such as one based on category or keyword), you can use a **custom filter** to automatically highlight it when it shows up in your results.

### Steps to Create a Filter:
1. Navigate to the **Filters** section, Home > Filters.

2. Click on **Add Filter**.

3. Select **Format Row** or a similar visual rule type.

4. Choose a **highlight color** (e.g., purple).

5. Set the condition as:  
`Item ID equals [specific item number]`.

This filter will automatically apply the formatting whenever the specified item appears in any matching search results.
