Why is bed size not a search criteria?

I’m one of 5 king size beds in Bisbee AZ but guests have to search thru 174 listings to find a king bed.

@Dawn241  Well, for one thing bed sizes are not standardized throughout the world. The measurements of what is called a Queen, for instance, in the US are not the same as a Queen in Europe or Latin America.

Understood but it seems like a company this big can set up search criteria for US vs Europe and Latin America.

This drives me crazy when I am visiting AirB&Bs.  My husband and I  cannot sleep comfortably in anything smaller than a King so that is a deal breaker.  I often have to look through dozens of listings to find a rental that has a king at all, let alone one that is decorated in a way that I find appealing.  When hosting I know that few nearby AirB&Bs have a king and it does bother me that people who want a king can't sort for it and find us quickly.
