<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 931583, member: 9270&quot;]My experiences indicate that the eBay search engine ignores everything that isn&#039;t either letters or numbers.</p><p>All special characters are treated as spaces.</p><p>So unless a seller states &quot;star&quot; or &quot;plus&quot; you just have plug and chug through lots of items you&#039;re not interested in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW just FYI, if you are looking for a specific grade on eBay you have to specify it in two ways.</p><p>For instance:</p><p>(ms65,&quot;ms 65&quot;)</p><p>The entry with the quotes means &#039;treat this as a whole&#039; <b>AND</b> since special characters are treated as blanks that will pick up MS-65.</p><p>The other entry will find items without the hyphen.</p><p>The parentheses mean the first entry <b>OR</b> the second entry which finds all &#039;normal&#039; entries.</p><p>And it&#039;s better to use lowercase letters. An &#039;m&#039; will find an &#039;m&#039; or an &#039;M&#039;.</p><p><b>BUT</b> on some search engines an &#039;M&#039; will only find &#039;M&#039; and <u>NOT</u> &#039;m&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
