Search terms: Spring Link 5/16" returns 67 results

Changing it to: Spring Link 5/16" -stainless returns 6* results (should have removed 8 results, not 61 results)

*says 6 results but only shows 4. Also says "7 items found from eBay international sellers" but shows only 1.

US Only, ending soonest, included description not checked, all categories. Omitted the ", tried using (), changed the order - no change.

Am I having a Doh! moment this morning and doing something wrong, or is it really that badly broken?

Odd - I see 67, then adding -stainless brings it down to 55.

General reply to all:

I wiped the slate and started a search from scratch and got 67 and then 55 with -stainless

Assume that search may look at item specifics also, and in addition to the 8 with stainless in the title there must be 4 more that have stainless in the IS?

I think my bogus results were a product of legacy parameters in the search URL since I was recycling an existing search in a browser tab. The changes from a day or two ago must be producing a conflict. (may look and see exactly what if I get some round tuits).

Those of you that got 73 results must not have had the US only filter on - I get the same if I go with default location.
