Here some info on Ebay searches I have been following. Apparently they are putting their eggs in a basket called, "Cassini" Search.
Some of you may find this interesting............most will probably find it a pointless exercise in Ebay meddling, just for the sake of it.
eBay Cassini Search: A Seller's Perspective:

Pay attention to the following quote from this article.

Neil said eBay significantly throttled back how many listings displayed in search results in the testing ground. Whether the search engine found 1,000 matching listings or 10,000 matching listings, the results were limited to 200 listings. He feels certain that eBay will indeed limit results in the new Cassini search engine and that as a result, eBay will eliminate listing fees.

Basically, Ebay is now infatuated with Google, the way it's been infatuated with Amazon for years. As with Amazon, they forget one thing has nothing to do with the other.
Google is disseminating information, Ebay is selling products. Why not keep it simple. I'm looking for something specific..............and there it is...........all of them, in whatever order I want to see them in (price, ending time, etc..).
That's it. No need to tinker anymore.
