How does bump/search work?

So, I notice that basses that have been "on my radar" in the classified section get bumped daily...... or every couple of days.

But then, when I do a search of 5 string basses, they all seem to come up in the exact same order for days at a time.... Unless something new pops up. For example, when I do that search, the Reverend bass that sold days ago still comes up third or fourth in line. Surely, dozens of bass listing for 5 string basses have had replies or bumps since then. But it is still right there near the top of my list. The silver sparkle 5 string MM has been second or third every time I search. And I search multiple times a day.

So, do bass listings not move up the ladder of searches when bumped or replied to much like clicking on "new posts"?

Just curious. Thanks.
