Search Algorithm Manipulation?

[woogybunny]

I have listed a collectible Lalique figurine with a $0.99 starting bid price, and I believe it is currently the

lowest starting bid for any Lalique branded item currently on eBay as of 2.23.25. The title of my item is:

Lalique - Owl - Frosted Crystal Figurine Paperweight -  MINT CONDITION

I am asking the community how I can better optimize my title so my item appears on listing results (when sorted by Lowest Price), whether two or three key words are used in the search fields.

If I enter 2 search terms into the search field using two words from my listing title, and sort by lowest price, my listing does not appear in ANY of the search results. For example,  if I enter "Lalique owl" in the search field, and sort by lowest price, my item, which I would expect to appear as the #1 listing based on its price, is not being shown in the results.  The listings shown start with bids of $34.00 and go up from there.

I tried these other 2-word search terms as well:

Lalique Condition

Lalique Mint

Lalique Figurine

Owl Mint

None of these 2-word search terms will bring up my listing at all with the Lowest Price filter activated.

But, this is where the search algorithm seems odd.  If I enter 3 search terms from my title, sort by lowest first, then my listing appears as 1st item every time. For example, 

Lalique owl figurine

owl mint paperweight

Lalique frosted condition

All combinations of 3 terms in the search field enabled my item to populate as the #1 lowest priced Lalique Owl in the search results.

So my concern is that  most collectors on eBay looking for a Lalique owl would likely type the two terms "Lalique Owl" and never see my listing.

I contacted eBay support and they at first informed me the results for lowest price were randomized (not true, as repeatedly refreshing my results screen did not reveal my item).

My question to the community is:

How can I better optimize my title so my item appears on all listing results, whether two or three key words are used in the search fields?

My listing can be viewed here:

Feel free to try some of the 2 and 3 search term combinations to replicate my findings.

You need to watch the default category when you search.

The default for Lalique owl is decorative pottery in pottery & glass. Your item is in collectibles. If you change the category to all, then you will see your item both as newly listed and lowest price.

The same will be true for other combinations - I only tried a couple, but they all went to pottery & glass, except for owl mint paperweight, where your item was in the top results on my first search as well as sorting by price.
