Search Algorithm Problem

Hi Miss and Mister,

 

if I look for some products of special brands, like „Westfalia“ the results I get is about other brand names. I dont understand cuz I look for this special brand and I get some cheapy **bleep** product with zero quality I just dont want to have.

 

Please fix it, I dont want to spend an hour to look for this especially product. 

Yours sincerely

Search Algorithm Problem

How are you searching?

 

If you are using westfalia as a search term, eBay will return any listing that contains westfalia in the listing title or item specifics in a particular category.

 

In some cases this may include other brands that include westfalia as a compatible brand, or a part for a westfalia item. You may be able to eliminate some such items by using exclusions like this:

westfalia -fits.westfalia -for.westfalia 

 

Depending on what category you are searching, you may see a brand filter -- if that is the case you may be able to pick westfalia as a brand, rather than relying on a keyword.

 

At times, eBay may return matches of other keywords that are similar to your chosen keyword; if you only want to see results for your exact keyword with no substitutions, try including your keyword in quotes, like this:

 

"westfalia"

 

Using exclusions or quotes may affect automatic category navigation, so if you use those techniques make sure that you are searching the correct category.
