auction sniper search returning too many items!

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but since this hadn't gotten any replies yet I decided to test it. I get the same results as you. I put terms in the "Search Any of these words" box with quotes around them, and it seem to ignore the quotes. Maybe the quotes are only for the "Search All these terms" box?

Maybe this reply will refresh the topic and someone else will take a look. Sniper Sara is the support person for the forums, and she checks in periodically, so hopefully she'll have a better answer for you.

But it seems like I've seen other users comment that they just use ebay searches instead of AS searches. Maybe this is why. Or maybe I'm remembering that wrong?

Sorry, I only use eBay search. AS doesn't/can't do enough for me.

Gosh, me too. I use Ebay search because it is so much better!

To look for Item A or Item B on eBAY then use commas in brackets:-

("A","b")

Will give you items that contain 'A' or contain 'b'.

So, in your example, try this:

("rmu70","rmu 70","av790","av 790")

So I reckon the solution in AS searches would be to put a in between each item:-

"rmu70","rmu 70","av790","av 790"

I put this in my search here under search any of these words. I guess it doesnt see the quote marks because it is emailing me anything ith a 70 in it!

please let me know how to put thes in search to get these exact strings

btw, it is for a sony remote and the receiver it goes to.

thanks

Region2's answer is what I use, however you can skip the quotation marks and you have to make sure you DON'T put spaces between the comma and the next search term. So your search - "rmu70" "rmu 70" "av790" "av 790" would wind up being - (rmu70,rmu 70,av790,av 790). Personally, I'd make it - (rmu70,rmu-70,rmu 70,av790,av-790,av 790), or better yet, split it into two searches - sony +remote +rmu* and then sony +remote +av*. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to use wildcards within the ()'s.
