Did eBay’s search get dramatically worse suddenly or is it just me?

@paulrickards it did, I’ve seen it showing random crap now that I didn’t search for

I have a bunch of saved searches that usually return nothing (RARE!!1!) but as of recently, these normally dormant searches have sprung to life showing things that are clearly not the thing I’m looking for. I don’t think it’s because these products suddenly got posted for sale, I think they’re changing search to make sure it returns something, anything.

It seems the 2020’s will be remembered as the decade that companies broke search for profit.
