I agree. As an IT person with almost 40 years of working with applications, data, and databases, the search functionality on eBay is abhorrent. Typically one of the many byproducts of outsourcing development of your application development and support overseas.
When I am searching as a buyer, I use as few words as possible for inclusion, but have more of excluded (minus in front of the word).
From a technical perspective, usually I can figure out how best to enter keywords in almost any application (i.e. the AND and OR connections for example) after understand how the searching works. With eBay for 30 years now, I cannot figure it. I think part of it is because it seems to change with different updates.
If I were a seller, that would drive me nuts.
