I went to research Piano Rolls and Ebay shows only one seller selling piano rolls. Is that going to be the status quo from now on with your Search Engine?

The search engine is not broken.
I searched "piano rolls" and came up with 15,000+ results.
Perhaps you're doing something wrong?
I think you owe ebay an apology.

16,000 + in my default "best match" search, and not all the same seller.

I did the same search as those below, and see 16000+ options - Granted I am a searcher and always have been, so I am claused into a search that sorts by "Ending Soonest" rather than "Best Match" and likely "knows" I want to see ALL options... If you are prone to buying what you see without searching much, and are using best match sort, you may well see only a few options - These search engines "KNOW"(at least to a degree) how you shop and what makes you buy...
And by the same token, you are also at the mercy of a search I have LITERALLY had show me 0 results returned for a search query - And then get on google and search the exact same thing and have it show me several options available on ebay!? - go back to the site, copy and paste my google search and try many different variations and STILL have it show 0 results returned...finally get a result by copying the exact listing title from the google search....Seriously...

The search engine on eBay has been a bit flakey at times but it is also dependent on the parameters the searcher is using. I used the advanced search looking for Piano Rolls, Exact words any order and get different results depending on how I racked and stacked the search results.
By Best Match
By Price + Shipping Lowest First
* The actual order of these results have some issues
By Price + Shipping Highest First
* The actual order of these results have some issues

Yes. So did I today. When I went to look the other day, there was only one seller with any piano rolls. I have found that several times lately when I go look for stuff on Ebay. That is why I am alerting them that there are days or hours lately that the search engine is not working.
