How to stop auto fill searches
When I enter a description into the search bar and hit enter, I get my search plus a similar worded search also. How do I get rid of this similar search? It changes my search to this similar search which affects when I want to add filters. I don't want and didn't ask for the similar search and want to get rid of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mentor3 years agoIf a search that has worked well previously suddenly starts behaving badly, often the problem has something to do with a faulty keyword substitution or an inappropriate automatic category navigation issue.
You can bypass many of these sorts of search issues by putting one of your keywords in quotes. This forces eBay to bypass the "smart" features and to search for the literal keywords without any substitution or category switching. You may have to manually specify your category once again.
Use the "Feedback" icon that appears in the lower right corner of the search results page to let eBay page developers know about your search issues.
