Why did search start giving so many irrelevant results? Idiotic.
I have been an eBay seller for 28 years and I list items nearly everyday. Several months ago the search function started showing literally thousands of result for a search that should produce a few to dozens of results. Yes, I have seen the responses to put part of the search term on "quotes" to make search more specific. WHY?! Why would eBay make the default for the most basic and most important tool worse? If someone is looking for a specific item, say a specific model of eyeglasses buy manufacturer and model number, showing them them 4,000+ irrelevant results of items made by that manufacturer is 100% a hindrance, not a help. If I wanted a more generic search I would enter more generic search terms. As usual eBay has made a perfectly fine functionality of their site worse. Example: Searching in titles only and sorting by Best Match - Fendi FF 0015 produces '2,600+ results for Fendi FF 0015'. The same search but with "FF 0015" (the model number in quotes) produces the only 10 results that actually match my search. This is idiotic and absolutely not helpful in any way. Again, why?
