Listing not showing up in search

[ssbn625g]

I have a listing for a Union Pacific padlock.  When I do a search for "union pacific padlock", it doesn't show up.  If I search for "union padlock" or "pacific padlock" I see it.  What am I missing?

Thanks for checking.  I show 7 results, but not my listing.

 it's there @ssbn625g 

You know something is very glitchy today with tags, photos, screenshots, duplications. Folks are restless about it.

When I do a search for union pacific padlock eBay auto-switches the category to Collectibles > Tools, Hardware & Locks > Locks, Keys.

Your listing is in Collectibles > Transportation > Railroadiana & Trains > Hardware > Other Railroadiana Hardware

I get the same results - your item does not show.  But, if I enter “Union Pacific RR padlock,” I get your item.  Weird.

@ssbn625g 

When I did a search for union pacific padlock, the search defaulted to the category 'Collectibles - tools, hardware & locks - locks, keys

Your listing is in a different category so it didn't come up.

Yep, that was my problem.  I've always thought the search defaulted to "all categories".  Never assume, I guess.  Thanks!
