Search in My eBay Messages not working

[oldhiw-0]

I'm attempting to find a certain message from a buyer in my messages in My eBay. I tap on the search icon and type in a key word I remember from the message. All it does is take me back to My eBay. Any ideas about this? Thanks.

Well, you just taught me something. I thought the Search was for the user's ID.

But... I did go to Messages and then, sure enough, I entered a word from one of the messages and it narrowed to one user.

🤔  Nothing to offer regarding why yours is not working the same. Sit tight for other posters and good luck.

 It's hard to guess with so little info, but:
1) You're misremembering, or misspelling, or the word was misspelled in the message, or 

2) It's not in a message, but in a Best Offer, which (for no reason - I complained years ago and got nowhere) eBay doesn't consider to be an "eBay message" that needs to be stored with all the others.
