Search Engine Problems Keyword Discrepancies

Can someone help me out? 

 

If I do a search in all categories for "Lego Star Wars", I get 55,472 listings that show up.  If I do a search for "Lego Star War", I get 76,906 listings that show up.  

 

My problem is that I have five auctions with "Lego Star Wars" in the title.  If I do a search with these keywords, go to the nearest first filter option, my listings are not visible (I am making sure I search in All Categories, too).   

 

However, if I search  "Lego Star War" in all the categories, filter the search results with nearest first, my listings magically appear. 

 

So in summary:

"Lego Star Wars" does not bring up my listing that uses Lego Star Wars in the title.

 

I have to use "Lego Star War" in order for it to show up.


Why? That is not the correct spelling of Star Wars, nor is it a keyword I used.

Did you check if your shipping location zip code is set correctly after sorting by distance nearest?

I posted that on Product page and just decided to leave this one alone, hoping Trinton or someone would answer here.  I'm not sure Syed has anything to do with it or will answer the post over there........

 

I'd seen the s problem before, but couldn't remember the other examples so just used this one......
