If I search: 1953 Bowman "PSA 5", both the listings are PSA 5.
Of course, this doesn't always work and sometimes I literally have to search: "1953" "Bowman" "PSA 5" to get what I want to see.

I'm familiar with it and use it frequently, but it does not solve all issues unfortunately.
I cannot fathom why years ago, eBay removed the wild card (*) search. This allowed you to search auto* for example and get autograph, autographed, autographs, auto etc. Now they have just tried to make the search pick up more things, and it picks up completely irrelevant items.
It's still the place to look because the sheer number of sellers means that there can be gems that turn up any time. And selling elsewhere remains challenging (though I still have some success on Facebook). But the moves they have made are baffling.
