Searching has gotten lousy!
I can enter the exact worded title of a listing and it doesn't even show up! Why has the search become so crummy?

What are you searching for?
Some searches are steered into a particular category based on the keywords. If the seller has listed in a different category, that seller's item will not appear in that search by default unless the searcher changes the category and searches again.
If you are sorting by "Price plus shipping: lowest first", the results shown may be filtered. Try another sort order to see if that shows more results.

OP11 months agoI am usually searching for dolls and other items related to them. I've used eBay many years and searching had always been easy! Suddenly, it isn't. I dislike wasting time attempting to satisfy the eBay Search algorithm. Now I often only get one item in my searches. If I click on "Seller's Other Items", it will say 5 items for example, but show 0 or only 1.

What browser are you using? Latest version?
Any difference if you use a different browser? Or if you disable add-ons like ad blockers?
If you give a link to one of your searches, someone might be able to perform the same search and see how many results are returned, or if there is a different search that might work better for you.
