When you activate a search you task the horse agent with monitoring the market for you. The agent then searches around the clock and notifies you the moment a new horse matching your description is listed for sale on Floccs.
Two ways to activate: You can activate whenever you feel ready. Let the agent suggest it — when the agent thinks it has enough information, a button appears directly in the chat. Or do it yourself at any time — click the search title at the top of the chat to activate manually.
Remember: You need to be logged in to your Floccs account to activate and save your search.
Check your search status: Under the Find tab you'll see all your searches. Activated (green): the agent is actively watching the market and sends a notification when a new match appears. Not activated / Draft: this is a draft — you can see previous matches or keep chatting with the agent, but it won't search for new horses automatically until you activate it.
See the guide: How do I know if I've received a new match?.
