How can I search for more then one item at once?

[moojamariah]

I would like to know how can I search for more then one item at once?

For example,  if I wanted to search  "beaded handbag " and "beaded purse " how do I enter it in the search bar?

Or "antique purse " and "vintage purse "

Thank you

If each pair of words have to be together in that order, then:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=(beaded-handbag,beaded-purse) 

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=(antique-purse,vintage-purse) 

Otherwise, if each pair or words can appear in any order:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=beaded(handbag,purse)  

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=(antique,vintage)purse 

Use the links, and then you can modify the search bar.

Unfortunately, ebay.com has removed the help pages that describe search commands.

Here is a link to an older page on eBay Ireland:

One of the examples actually mentions searching for purses or handbags.

beaded (handbag, purse)

purse (antique, vintage)

"beaded purse" (no quotation marks) is probably your best bet.  When you use a Boolean operator  such as ( ), - etc. it turns off the search expansion algorithms that also searches categories, item specifics, plurals/singulars and synonyms.  I'm guessing purse and handbag are on the list for the last expansion.
