Ebay search - what has gone wrong?!

[shark_90]

A quick search for Audi S2 brings up something like 700 results, because it appears to be showing anything with Audi or S2 in the title!

Searching for "Audi S2" only brings up the results with the words Audi and S2 next to each other... can't win.

Anyone found a way to make the search work properly again?

Type "Audi" S2 with only Audi in speech marks

use the - sign to get rid of certan words such as escort etc... Audi S2 - lotus -escort

If you type "audi" s2 it will only bring it search items with the key word audi and then S2 as a secondary search no need to to use the -lotus etc

at the bottom of the search screen it should say 'opt out'.Sometimes doesn't appear but it will do eventually,only problem is sometimes you may 'opt in' even though you havn't chose to.It seems to happen to me when i click on a ebay link from someone on this forum who is using the utterly **** search facility that ebay seem to think is a good idea.
