Very inconsistent

I've had the same experience - excluding certain terms results in more items.

Seems to me they are going the direction of the search on FB Marketplace, where some type of algorithm is being used to pull up similar items. For example, if I search for a Land Cruiser, it will also bring up Lexus LXs, 4Runners and FJ Cruisers. And the further you scroll down the results list, the further away from the original search terms the results stray.

Ebay knows best. They are just trying to help.
