Two word search broken

[jaring]

I went to search for a Bucilla Stocking (felt Christmas stocking) in the subcategory Handcrafted and Finished Pieces.  Searching Bucilla Stocking brought back 23 results, which is way low.  Searching Bucilla + Stocking brought back 101 results.  Same search but in the larger craft category brought back 5814 results vs. 6570 results with the +.  Who is going to search with a "+" sign?  No wonder I have no hits and can't find what I'm looking to buy.  Grrr.

Searching Bucilla stocking results in 4,304 listings ? Don't worry about categories. When you do a search start big "all categories", then use the tools on the left side of the screen to narrow your search down. Nothing is broken and works as intended.

More like "Nothing works as intended and is broken".

Agreed. I search for specific items on eBay--I rarely just "browse." The only time I use the category search is when I'm looking for a specific book because of some of the refinements offered by the "Book" category. Other than that, I always start with "All categories."
