Long time listener, first time caller to the site discussion forum…

So apart from searching for "free", there doesn't seem to be a filter in the search for freebies.

Using filter such as Type: Deals (no expired), will also bring up things with "free delivery" or "free click and collect" etc.

My request would be to put this in the categories section, and for it to use the tag "freebie"

Please use the poll to add if you'd find it useful. If not useful then don't vote!

Mod: Do not use Poll to request features.

    Thanks, somewhat useful but insufficient if I want to search for non-expired deals, and/or specific words, e.g."printed photos"

  It sounds like you want to add a category:freebies in the search function (?c=): (like category:Alcohol, category:Dining and Takeaway)

  I'm no Antony Green but I predict, from your poll results, overwhelming support for your request.

    Add an option to the poll saying "No, this is a useless feature"

  How can it be a poll with only 1 option - unless you are in Russia, North Korea, or China perhaps /s

    It can because the feature allows it. Tbh, I didn’t think it would let me do just one, but here we are…

  Tips and help on the How to Search Wiki

  For example your search term is android (you want to see android apps and games that are free, and not expired), click search, Type: Deals (no expired) then enter this query

  option:free option:titleonly Android
