e:bay filtering

[s20ale]

Is it possible to filter out all the kak that comes up when you search for Audi s2 on e:bay, eg escort, jaguar, lotus rubbish or does everyone plough through all that dross.
Any tips would be great as its does my nut in

Thanks

try using "" around the word, although that usually works best when your searching for two words, like auid s2 etc..

"audi s2" type that

Yes, you can use filtering easily.

Some examples Ive just done:
"Audi S2" 2,663 results
"Audi S2 -ford" 774 results

It uses something called Boolean logic, which works on most searches, including Google etc.

As above, put your search in " " too, as searching for Audi S2 will bring more results than "Audi S2"

Oh yes using "...." really does work cheers, i knew it was me..doh

Nice one

Yeah,try Audi s2 quattro.
when you type "QUATTRO" it get rid of all S1 ford and Jags.atlist you end up with proper s2 stuff.

They changed the search function a few months ago, you could opt out of it at the time.
