ZealLad77 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hey, as the title indicates, I would like to know how to search for specific effects on the SCM as typing in the effect doesn't seem to work. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 You need to also check the box that says "Include descriptions" in the advanced search. Keep in mind that this also pulls up people's custom descriptions from tags and a common SCM scam is to use a description tag to add fake info to trick people (For example, someone will take a N&B hat and give it the description "Unusual Effect: Sunbeams", making it show up for anyone searching Sunbeams), so be careful. Doing that, and your search result would look something like this: https://steamcommunity.com/market/search?q="green+confetti"&descriptions=1&category_440_Collection[]=any&category_440_Type[]=any&category_440_Quality[]=tag_rarity4&appid=440#p1_price_asc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariogeek2 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It's also worth noting that this method works when searching for Strange Parts and Spells if you want to look for those. However, they're susceptible to the same scam as SCM unusual effects, so if, for example, you look spelled items up and find a double-spelled Australium RL that's at a price that seems to be too good to be true, be sure to double check and make sure a description tag hasn't been applied.
