Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

There is nothing else planned to be "resolved" about the state search function. Searches are rather easy to implement programmatically. The problem is really GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) concerning the data the algorithm has to work with. Without coding very strict requirements for entering location info at registration for new members and somehow going back through all 90,000+ members to get that info to comply with those requirements (or somehow FORCING all active members to do that themselves), a search algorithm will never be very satisfactory, much less completely accurate and comprehensive.
So if the tag system would be adapted to provide search functionality for location data, then it would have to be used as such EXCLUSIVELY. At this point, I'm not sure how doing so might make other impacts (such as search engine accessibility) that would prove to be unwelcome in the long run.
There is quite likely not going to be a whole lot of effort put into this. Quite frankly, I believe the focus of the classified sections of this site should be more oriented towards internet sales of animals and merchandise, and not the promotion of localized dealings done face to face. Promoting shows, of course, will always be beneficial to all involved, but the narrow focus of single sale local transactions is probably never going to be much of a priority here.
