search no longer returning expected results

Search for "fluke 9100a" (tested on ebay.com,  android app)

Previously this query would have matched the following two items but it no longer does:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/365606090652
https://www.ebay.com/itm/225307896409

I need to search for "fluke 9100a test" to return them however if I search for "fluke 9100b" it returns both.

This is a regression as it's worked previously.    I've noticed other wonky things with search lately (starting about a month ago): if I have a search like "primary (alt1, alt2, alt3, alt4, alt5, alt6, ...)" it has started returning items that do not contain any of the alt terms.   I'm happy to provide more specific examples if someone from eBay reaches out.

The problem seems to be with the categories of those two listings.

A search for fluke 9100a is automatically steered into the Business & Industrial: Test Equipment & Inspection category.

The two listings you linked to are listed in the Electronics: Computers, Tablets & Networking: Computer Components & Parts: Motherboards category.
