Description

Title must have / must not have

Enter one or more words that the title must or must not have. This restricts the results to having at least one of these words, or none of these words in the item titles. A case-insensitive match is done with wildcards on either side of each word.

 

These options can be used to:

· Filter Standard Searches that you make with the "Search title and description" option
· Filter Seller, Bidder and Category, and Captured Searches where you want to further filter the results to see only the items that you're interested in. For instance, you may only be interested in a subset of a seller's offerings.

Title must / must not match
