I have an auction for m.u.s.c.l.e men toy figures. My confusion is that when I did a search for active auctions using the search: m.u.s.c.l.e. I don't see my auction popping up.
My auction is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1924068994
I am not trying to get new viewers please believe me. I am confused as to why my auction does not show when searching. I did notice that I added a period after the last letter. That did not seem to change the search. What do you think?
I feel I am losing bidders since I don't pop up with the search m.u.s.c.l.e.

I have no idea but perhaps search can't pick it up with the #1 behind it? I wonder if M.U.S.C.L.E. Thug Busters #1 w/Box would work better?
There are five auctions with M.U.S.C.L.E. in the title but search only picks up three. It doesn't pick yours up in the title and description search either for just the word M.U.S.C.L.E. but it does with #1 added.
I see you already have a bid but if you expect a good price you may have to cancel the auction and do it over? Perhaps someone who understands search can help you.

Hmmmm...... If I put in M.U.S.C.L.E.# 1 without a space after the last period I also get 30. If I space it before the #1 like I did on my first try I only get 13.
But theirs doesn't come up in a title search with just M.U.S.C.L.E. and how many people will be searching the #1?
Thanks for all the positive feedback.
I was going to cancel the auction and start again, however, I see that the crowd has found me and the bids are starting to climb.
I was not aware that there will soon be a movie coming out featuring these characters.
Now I am!
I found more in the attic that I had purchased for my son when he was a tiny tot.
He has given me permission to place them on the auction block.
