When will eBay US fix Advanced Search - Search including "Title and description"???

Whatever eBay.com did 2 nights ago broke Advanced Search when Search including "Title and description" box is checked.

I wonder when they will fix the issue?

To be honest I do not expect a fix on this:

Criteria for search seems to be title: and item specifics....

Not the description...

and I wounder what they are indexing in title now days....

Removing "Title and description" option for search seems counterproductive though.

For example if you want to search for a book by ISBN-10 or ISBN-13... Those ISBN values would normally be keywords in the Description itself. I haven't seen any seller putting ISBN in title.

Or if you want to search for some item by EAN values, eBay Product ID value, etc, those are usually also in description.

Worth noting that Advanced Search - Search including "Title and description" feature is still behaving as expected (working fine) on other international eBay sites (Canada, UK, Germany, etc).  Only broke on eBay US.

While you are waiting for eBay to fix the Advanced Search page option on ebay.com, searching title and description can still be accomplished on the search results page. Use the "include description" checkbox under the blue "Search" button and then hit the search button to run the new search.

Note that the default title search (without description) still also searches item-specifics shown in the box above the text description, so an ISBN search should not actually need to include the description, unless the number only appears in the body of the text of the listing.
