If so would that hold true for all items? For example, if a seller lists a cymbal but only shows manufacturer, size and type but neglects to put cymbal in listing title but has it in category cymbal will the listing show when cymbal only is typed into search?
    One heck of a tall order but would/could/is it viable for all similar scenarios?

    Any more generic/encompassing search keywords that users might use to find your items?

    That's correct.

    A very tall order but it can be improved upon day by day. We can't control the way our buyers search for items but we can build our systems to cater for generic searches.

    A good example that we added today is "mobile phone". Before today this search showed 199 results within the Handsets without Contract category, by tomorrow it will show all 847.
