Search by title only
How do I search by title only? Too many sellers are listing a page of key words that don't apply to their product or my search.

Mentor2 years agoThere is not a way to limit the search to title only, unfortunately. Item-specifics are also searched automatically.
Until eBay enforces rules against keyword spamming, users searching will have to employ other means to screen out listings that include unnecessary keywords in the item-specifics.
That might be something as simple as limiting your results to a particular category (to screen out all listings in other categories), grouping keywords together to ensure they are meaningful rather than just part of an alphabetical list of words, or picking a few keywords that are unrelated to what you are searching for and excluding those keywords.
For instance, if you are searching for parts for a 1967 Ford Mustang, excluding some terms such as 1933, Dusenberg, Phaeton, Corvair, and Studebaker should wipe out a lot of keyword spamming sellers' listings that include random makes and years without missing any actual relevant Mustang parts.
