Not all items showin up in searches. Why?

[ukurbanart]

Hi there
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have recently posted 37 items in auction and by-it-now formats, but only 1 appears to be coming up in search results. Does anyone know why?

I don`t have an Ebid store, so they should be there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I search for popart I see 38 items, 36 of which are yours. What search are you doing that doesn't work? By the way, it's helpful you give a link to your items when you're asking for info' about this sort of thing, as it saves those who wish to help the trouble of tracking you down - there's no automatic direct link from a profile to one's auctions, unfortunately.

I can see all 37. Using keywords such as 'Quentin', Pulp Fiction', and 'Twiggy' brings up hits on the relevant listings.

A couple of things...

1. There was a problem a while back of the search engine not handling hyphens '-' correctly - treating them as exclusions to the keyword following. I'm not sure if that has been fixed or not.

2. Some of your titles have typos that could prevent hits - such as spurious spaces in the middle of words e.g. 'PA INTING' rather than 'PAINTING'.

thanks very much for all your help! Really appreciate it. I have evised them and they seem to be working better now.

Thanks again!
