Search not working on iOS App

[ri-71542]

Search results on the mobile app have nothing to do with what I search for.  Instead I get random results such as purchasing mealworms.  This is true for new searches as well as Saved Searches.

Lots of folks searching for sports cards seem to be having an issue, particularly using the 6.168.0.2 version of the eBay app.

Possibly this is an iOS issue only? The Android 6.168.0.1 version of the app seems to be producing reasonable search results for me, and searching using a mobile browser works as well.

You should be able to report app issues on your phone by shaking the device while the app is active.

Try using a different sort if you are using "Best Match". Try narrowing the results to one category. Try putting one of your search keywords in quotes. Try searching using a browser instead of the app.

Or try searching using a desktop browser or another device to search for sports cards.

Hey @ri-71542! We apologize about the experience that you had with the search function. I did reach out to our Product team and this issue should be resolved and search should now be working as intended.
