I have listed two items (books) with the same categories mentioned above. When I search using a single word, only one of the items appears. The single word search is a word that is used in the main description.

Some keyword searches are directed into different categories by default.

How are you searching?

eBay uses keywords in the title or item-specifics, but not the body of the description in a default search.

If you are using the desktop site, did you click the Include Description box for the search?

Not that it matters much, since any word I could think of using to search for your books would get 80k+ results and unless you pay for promotion, no one is likely to ever see your listing in the search placement.

Most buyers know not to do a one word search.
