    Is there a way to search TAP, Controller, etc for certain items without clicking into the ad itself? Say, I am looking for a plane with an AP. Or it having engine time less than a certain amount, or years since OH? I am ok with clicking into ad's, just wondering out loud if I am missing a way to save some time.

    For TAP, there is an advanced search at the top right.
    You can then use specifics, and also keyword search.
    For AP, you might have to use different words, AP/autopilot/auto-pilot/autopitot... and so on, for it to be effective.

    If you get a pretty good group of filters, I think you can copy and save the URL as a shortcut, to keep the settings.
    I have done so for settings like specific models, listed in the last 2 days, etc., but haven't tried all the settings.

    Here is the same thing, (on Controller) for Vans aircraft up to 150k
    https://www.controller.com/listings/search?Manufacturer=VANS&Price=*150000

    The results can get funky, the more complex you make the search, in my experience.
