what's wrong with my title?

[slowonder]

I just listed a tape recorder. I can see the listing using the active listings in the seller hub. But using "pioneer rt-707" in a search from the ebay home page doesn't find my listing. Using "rt-707" does find my listing. The title of my listing is "rt-707 pioneer tape deck". and using the complete title in a search works ok. Any idea why searching with the first word "pioneer" doesn't find my listing? thanks

Thanks. That's good advice. Actually, I think what happened here was that as soon as I listed, then I revised it, and then revised it again. And I think that screwed up eBay's indexing.

Thanks. Nope, that didn't make any difference.  The dash or "minus" is explained by another response later. Actually, I think what happened here was that as soon as I listed, then I revised it, and then revised it again. And I think that screwed up eBay's indexing.

Thanks.. Don't know if that was the problem, but will pay attention to titles in the future.
