Hmmmm... I don't see any options like that.  I find their search to be
very primitive.  I see a single text search field, min and max price,
and a selection for sales by dealer, owner, and both.

Do you have to have an account to see advanced search options?

Same here.

Of course, the primary problem is that most people listing items just
don't want to give full information.

With dealers, most of their posted ads are just attract modes.
