Hey - I don't think this is a bug after all. It's an intended design change.
I didn't even try to search earlier, just saw the gear icon was missing. I should have typed something in the box to test. 🙄
Just now I was doing inventory management and noticed when I enter a search term, a drop-down appears and I can choose a search option.
Check this out @carpartdepo . Are you seeing the same?
It's new navigation, removal of the gear icon.
Even though description appears above SKU/title in the drop-down, the search is defaulting to SKU/title unless you specifically choose description.
Perhaps a test @eburtonlab or perhaps those of us seeing the change are opted in early to a site wide roll out. I can't guess either way since my account is almost always opted in early to Seller Hub changes.
FYI @mcdougle4248

Edit to add: eBay still has not fixed what's broken. You can search custom SKU at the listing level, but it's still not searching custom SKU at the variation level. Major problem and something we lost when eBay rolled out this new navigation last year.
The other thing we lost is search recognizing plural and partial words.
Like if you search shirt it will show you listings with shirt in the title, but will not show t-shirt or shirts plural.
Same here @carpartdepo . This is very recent. I don't know if it's a bug or intentional.
Click the ? icon on the lower right of your active listings page to report as a tech error.

EDIT: This is not a bug, it's a design change. Gear icon was removed. Type into the search box and the description option automatically appears.
For what it's worth, I still have the gear icon and the ability to search by Item description. I am using my desktop and Chrome.
