The Ebay search engine is a bad joke. One of the searches I used to use
was:
(s-100,altair,imsai) -canon -samsung -minolta
They hyphen is not recognized, and instead of bringing up the stuff I am
interested in, 521 items get brought up including junk like "70`S AND
80`S AND 90`S 100 baseball and football cards".
Your way of searching will totally exclude items that got posted in the
wrong catagory and other such items.

Same applies for when I search for videogames, when
I go to look up
Atari Jaguar items I don't want to pull up Jaguar
XJ6 engine parts,
Jaguar Jungle photo's and other nonsense that has
nothing to do with
videogame related items, so I would much rather go
to a site that caters
specifically to a category of items I am looking
for.
Isn't that what the ebay categories are for? I would
think if you perform catagory specific searches you
wouldn't have all these problems.
