International Searches not working 100% - attn: AS Support Please

I've sent it to the programmers. Not sure when they'll fix it. I suspect a matter of days or less if it's easy, and longer or perhaps not until much later if it's very difficult. It should be easy I'd think.

Hi Oli, How are you?

Hey, I'm testing this and I can't reproduce it. See I went ahead and put "winnington" on the search, I chose as you did "Any Country", "Any Currency", "All Categories", etc...

I compared the results that eBay give and is the same as the one we show. However, this results are the ones from the result in the US site.

I know what you mean, if you put "Any Country", should be any country... But eBay some how doesn't do it like that. And our searches are a reflexion of the results on the US site.

You can do the experiment... do the same search in http://www.ebay.com and compare the results to the one on http://www.ebay.co.uk and you'll notice the different right away.

I'm going to suggest now that maybe we should have some options to run the searches from somewhere else than the US site. I can't guarantee anything but I'll pitch the idea.

Despite putting 'any country' it will only bring up www.ebay.com results. Search for 'winnington' brings up loads of 'hits' in www.ebay.de if you use the 'any country' in Ebay's search but NOT if you use the AS search.

Likewise, I search for "****** instrument" - this missed a Lot in the UK which I found using the Ebay search.

This means that your foreign users (more than one I hope) cannot effectively use your search.

As mentioned, the AS search is an excellent idea - it just needs tweaking. Please tear the programmers away from the latest version of Doom and get them onto it!

Ok... As I told you, I put the suggestion in.

I guess we are on the same page then, the searches only bring up the results from http://www.ebay.com... 'Any Country' is a parameter (that they call location) for the search.

For now, the searches DO NOT go to other eBay sites.

Hey Oli,

Just wanted to let you know that I have found an error that I can reproduce and is related to your problem, we'll be working on this...
