Trader Posted September 8, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I know its been done before...but I'm having issues! I should be getting all kinds of hits with this search.... I do get 3500 or so if I look at all types....but if I look at "auction" it drops to 20! There must be several thousand ads out there! Can someone correct what is wrong with this search? It should be looking for any ads with the quoted words, minus all the others. ????????????????????????

DragonRider Posted September 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2012 Do a search for what your looking for, then in the side bar menus to the left select completed auctions, you will see what they went for.

dingy Posted September 9, 2012 Share #5 Posted September 9, 2012 Your search criteria is waaay too long. The search string he is using is similar as mine, it serves to remove all the unwanted snowmobile and 2nd gen listings. I have separate strings for VMax searchs. You can save this search in ebay and recall it from My Ebay tab. Each one of the words in the search string with a minus sign in front eliminates a listing with that term in title. The string below gives 19591 hits Yamaha Venture The string below gives 8973 hits yamaha venture -gt -700 -1999 -2000 -2001 -2002 -2003 -2004 -2005 -2006 -2007 -2008 -2009 -rsv -600 -snow -star -enticer -blaster -600cc -480cc -wave -viper -vector -xenon -phazer -mountain -exciter -snow* -srx -venom -vt600 -vt480 -vt700 -sxr -carbide The string below gives 226 hits, I have added clutch as third included parameter yamaha venture clutch -gt -700 -1999 -2000 -2001 -2002 -2003 -2004 -2005 -2006 -2007 -2008 -2009 -rsv -600 -snow -star -enticer -blaster -600cc -480cc -wave -viper -vector -xenon -phazer -mountain -exciter -snow* -srx -venom -vt600 -vt480 -vt700 -sxr -carbide The string below gives 31 hits, I have added clutch cover as third & fourth included parameter yamaha venture clutch -gt -700 -1999 -2000 -2001 -2002 -2003 -2004 -2005 -2006 -2007 -2008 -2009 -rsv -600 -snow -star -enticer -blaster -600cc -480cc -wave -viper -vector -xenon -phazer -mountain -exciter -snow* -srx -venom -vt600 -vt480 -vt700 -sxr -carbide Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
