I am interested in hearing how searchers in smaller markets (< 500k MSA) go about searching for SMB opportunities. The number of opportunities is smaller than larger markets, but is the number of buyers looking for opportunities equally as small? And have you contemplated looking or purchasing in other markets (outside your area) because there are more available opportunities? Any insight here would be welcome.

I would pull PPP loan data for all companies within a geography. This should get you a good inventory of businesses operating in that market.
