Innacurate and missing listings ebay non-ethical business and searh practices.

I don't want an explanation I want it fixed ebay employee words mean nothing, fixing the issue by taking action does. 

Seach is not accurate, many listings don't show even with matching word, and your "AI" algorithm obviously coded by people with no business ethics shows many listing not containing the searched word. This is a new issue and was not a problem before changes to the algorithm started happening more and more c.2015 it has become worse and worse month by month, every upgrade is actually a severe downgrade, almost as if ebay wants their stock to go down by not providing the service people pay for.

Search  Centaur you will have no option for any listings in the cycling section of sporting goods, search Campagnolo Centaur, Centaur (bike part name) and you have plenty of results, so if someone wants to see all of the listings at one time with the Centaur name that are bike parts it is no longer possible, Search 54cm in in the cycling section and view the myriad of listings that don't contain the searched text.

THIS IS SLEAZY AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE FIX IT TO SEARCH WHAT PEOPLE TYPE IN TO SEARCH, PERIOD, YOU DON"T HAVE A CLUE WHAT PEOPLE WANT OUTSIDE OF THEIR SEARCH, GET A CLUE AND STOP TRYING TO CONTROL THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT!

The solution is simple, if someone searches a text show all of the listing with that text and let the person doing the search filter the results using the tools designed by people far far smarter than any current employee of ebay, tools that have worked for decades with no problems, NEW IS NOT BETTER, THINGS THAT DO WHAT THEY SAY ARE!

Ebay along with other venues manipulate the results.  Not fair to sellers and certainly frustrating to buyers, but somehow they think it makes them more money.  Even Google and other search engines are a mess these days.
