Search results on Android app not accurate.

Used to be when I would enter specific keywords in the search bar, eBay would return exactly what I was looking for. Now, I'm seeing results that are irrelevant. Another thing that happens is a search may show maybe 100 results and then when I go to sort them from high to low price or something else, then I only get four results? That should not be the case under any circumstances. It should show me the same hundred results sorted in order by highest to lowest price. 

 

An example of the first issue is when I search for a specific item, jolly rancher cinnamon fire hard candy, it may show me some of the results I'm looking for but then it will show various other flavors and erraneous results in the search. What is going on?

Sort order can affect the results you see. "Price plus shipping: lowest first" often returns a filtered subset of the full results. "Best match" sort order lately includes additional results not found in other searches. Avoid those sort orders if you have problems either way.

 

In some cases, eBay will substitute or correct your keywords to find additional results. If you do not want any corrections or substitutions, try putting one of your search keywords in quotes; this should force eBay to find only exact, literal matches of all your search keywords.
