Why is Everything I search for filtered by 2009 Ford?

Every search I make for any part on ebay Motors is filtered for a 2009 Ford.

I do not own a 2009 Ford.

I have never owned a 2009 Ford.

I have never searched for 2009 Ford parts for anyone.

 

I tried to change the filter to a year of a vehicle I do own.

Ran the search again.

It reset to 2009 Ford.

Every. Single. Time.

 

The only workaround seems to be putting -2009 in every search string.

 

I am starting to believe that making the search stupider and more useless is on purpose.

Why would there be any cookies for a vehicle which I have never searched for anything for?

Searching for a part for a non-Ford I found it was not filtering by 2009 Ford.

 

What I now suspect is that the number 9 in Ford 9 inch was somehow being read as 2009 by their now stupider than ever search.

Further evidence:

A search for a Ford part with 35 splines gives results filtered for a 1935 Ford

 

All numbers are now model years?
