    Default Odd search results

    Can anyone tell me why if I do a search for detransmogrification unit I get 547 results

    btw I've no idea what a detransmogrification unit is so don't ask me

    Your probably getting hits on everything with the word 'unit' in the title.

    EBIDs search features are very poor- I brought this up a whilse back when i posted that a search for "doctor who" brought up anything with the word doctor in the title- really not much use

    That must be it then, seems odd though. Also noticed that contents of HTML tags are included in search results. If you were looking for a marquee you'd have to wade through every auction with scrolling text in it Or a book on JavaScript would be hard to find using the search box alone

    at least im not alone in this dilemma .. i knew there is something odd with the search function.. it does not work or it does not filter properly.. something must be done here as it is really handy to do a search on items which you specifically want to search..

    furthermore, i posted a similar issue about this on another thread.
