Just tried to look something up using Search and discovered that eBay, in their infinite wisdom, have changed it. "Advanced Search" has disappeared, too, along with its handy-dandy option of choosing "exact words," "all words" or "any words." #$@&*%$!
Someone should heat up a branding iron and burn "if it ain't broke,don't fix it" into the foreheads of every programmer working for eBay...

It's still there. Near the Search button, click on More Search Options. It's jsut more compacted now.

You don't need to use the more options button. If you look just below the "search title and description", there is a drop down box. Click on the arrow and there are the options. It took me a bit to find it, too!

Cheryl: THANK YOU!!!! Leave it to eBay to "improve" something by making you jump through more hoops.

yes, it's still there, and simpler in a way (although it would have been nice if they'd mentioned they were going to change it but hey! communication has never been eBay's forte). you can customize it somewhat now, as with the "my eBay" page changes. i use advanced search/completed items only the most, and i was able to check off a box to keep that up on the page, so a few steps less for me once i customized the "new, improved" version.
