Thanks for the post!  It's crucial to do smart searches
on ePay!

I'd like to add:




javelin  -(red,blue,green)

Matches javelins that don't also say red, blue, etc.




However, I'm not sure you can put wildcards in () lists.




eBay automatically matches plurals; searching for "carb" will
match "carb" or "carbs". I do what Bill does though, and routinely
search for carb*





Here's my most generic hornet parts search:

(hornet,gremlin) -(honda,hat,ad,wiring,brochure,trailer,sheets,hudson,labels)


(No offense meant to Hudson Hornets.)
