When a listing at **Blk 624A Tampines Avenue 12** does not appear under direct text search on portals like PropertyGuru, 99.co, or EdgeProp, it usually comes down to search index mechanics rather than the listing being inactive:
### 1. Indexed Under Project Name Instead of Block Address
* Blk 624A belongs to the BTO development **Tampines GreenVerge** (Postal Code **521624**).
* Portal search bars match on **project database names** first. If you type freehand text like "Blk 624A", the search engine looks for an exact string match in project titles.
* **Fix:** In the search bar, search for **"Tampines GreenVerge"** instead, or enter the postal code **"521624"**. Once inside the project page, filter by floor plan or view all active listings.
### 2. Failure to Select the Portal Dropdown Suggestion
* When typing an address into portal search boxes, free text entered without clicking the auto-suggested dropdown entry often returns zero results.
* **Fix:** Type `624A Tampines` slowly, pause, and click the pre-populated entry in the dropdown list (e.g., *624A Tampines Avenue 12 (HDB)* or *Tampines GreenVerge*).
### 3. Listing Master Field Mismatch During Creation
* If this is a listing you created via AgentNet / backend:
* When publishing the listing, if the agent typed "Blk 624A" manually into the headline or custom description instead of mapping it to the portal's master location field (**Tampines GreenVerge / Blk 624A Tampines Ave 12**), the algorithm treats it as an unindexed property.
* Check the backend listing details: ensure the property is mapped to building code/project: **Tampines GreenVerge** and block: **624A**.
### 4. Search Filter Conflicts
* Verify that your front-end filters match your listing:
* **Room Type:** Set to the exact flat type (e.g., 4-Room or 5-Room).
* **Listing Status:** Ensure the toggle is set to "For Sale" or "For Rent" matching your listing.
* **Price Range:** Make sure active price sliders do not exclude your asking quantum.
If your listing is live on AgentNet, check its **Listing ID** directly in the portal search bar. If the ID pulls up the unit but the text search fails, re-save the listing with the postal code **521624** selected from the master database dropdown.
