hi, seems like you've opted for the same search engine as ebay! ? i just searched for Duffs and came up with 135 items only 1 was duffs the rest were Duff!!!!! and have you noticed on that other site how they change the search so it's harder to find mis=spelt items?
cheers

I just searched for Duffs and came up with 135 items only 1 was duffs the rest were Duff!!!!!

It's pretty normal to return both the singular and the plural by default. In most cases, particularly on a site such as eBid, it is a boon.

If you do find the results are not what you expected/wanted, simply enclose your search term in quotes e.g. "duffs"

For other ways you can refine your search, see: http://uk.ebid.net/help_bid.php#1

For DVD, Books and music your site is not on any of the popular search engines. This markets to millions of people looking for the best price.

Here are a couple of them

I know if you were on these search sites I would increase my business 10 fold.

Australia - Australian

In the context of:

A general browsers open search for Australian Stamps should return the same results as a search for Australia Stamp.

Likewise: Austrian - Austria / Canada - Canadian..... etc etc etc etc etc....

Such as a search for 5 and five.
