Is the search function messed up? I searched an item 3 times before it showed up!

Curious about the drop in sales, I did several test searches of items I know that others have, as well as items I have, and none showed up in the first two searches, but finally did on the third search. And I used the same exact search terms. Is the ebay algorithm thingy not showing all the available items to buyers? If that is the case, it would certainly explain the significant drop in sales since September (that’s when I also started having gobs of problems with the ipad app update, interestingly).

I’ve gotten a lot of nice deals that way too! Got a lovely Scarlet O’Hara doll super cheap by searching Gone With the Wine instead of Wind. But now when I do typo searches, I get stuff that doesn’t even come close LOL!
