    Angry Search improvements

    I've just searched for 2 items using number codes and neither return results UNLESS I click 'search descriptions' which is hidden!

    Come on guys, a search should automatically go through titles AND descriptions without buyers or members having to click through further!

    I think by searching the descriptions by default it would then find too much that is irrelevant. However it does find ISBNs, UPCs, EANs & MPNs (ie Barcodes)by default so I don't know what sort of "number codes" you were looking for.

    I'd prefer to find too much on eBid rather than nothing.

    Being a Sizzix fan I search for the Sizzix number of 6 digits which is more readily available rather than the barcode of 13 digits.

    I think I have lost the plot on this one.

    Located one of your lisings ie

    Sizzix Sizzlits Butterfly Flower Swirl Medium Die Set Karen Burniston 657126


    then searched using 657126 only which located your listing.

    So I don't understand what the problem is.

    You win the star prize MPS. Unless relevant information is in the title your listing won't be found.

    Edit - Yes, okay, I will admit that it hadn't occurred to me that the number I was searching for was not in the title.
