The eBay site search showed 2 results; I used the same search in Google. and it took me to eBay with 79 listings, using same keywords, why?

Why?

Two different searches, two different results.

Did you expect the same result on each?

What are you looking for?

ebay search is very primitive compared to google search and they have different goals, google search is trying to give you the search results that most closely match your search criteria, ebay search has other goals

Most likely the search directly on eBay automatically filtered it into a subcategory that eBay thought fit the search, while the Google search pulled up a general search over all of eBay.
