5.56 mm ammo listing not showing up?

I listed some 5.56 ammo last night and out of curiosity did a search on that caliber (listing new within the last 24 hrs) and it is not there. Any idea the issue here? The listing itself shows that it under rifle ammo and the first word in the listing is "5.56mm".

Post a link and let me look at it. The words, comas ect. have to be exactly like you listed it.
I found it by using your name:
5.56mm(.223). M196 TRACER, Lake City USGI-140 rds - Rifle Ammunition at GunBroker.com : 885727200
It comes up umder the listing title as well.
Ok, still don't understand why it will not show up in the general search mode for that caliber? But will look again, maybe I missed it?
Just looked again, there are 7 pages of listings within the last 24 hrs in that caliber, Mine is not there. Really don't get it.
SPACE the semi colon I am sure that's the issue, well think.
Not clear what you mean, Space where , the title has no semi-colon in it?
When I search on M196, it's right there.
When I search on Lake City, it's midway down the page.
A search on tracer, it's midway down the page.
The search treats "5.56mm.(.223)." as a single search word. You should have written "5.56mm .223" which is 2 words to the search algorithm. Computers don't reason, they follow instructions. A space indicates the end of a word.

Hey darn it that's what I meant! And it will show up better for buyers. Don't ask me how I know about spacing letters, digits ect in the for sale items. LEARN

Thanks for the help. I wonder if I go in and edit the listing it will show up?
Nope, can't change the title, Well will not better next time.
