Searching on eBay, I clicked on "Try snapshot view in our playground". Instead of 119 items found in my keyword search (miami fl postcard), it brought up 2,900+ items with the new "smart search". I quickly got out of the snapsnot view back to list view but could not get rid of the new search. Under the "Theme" search, it brought up ALL items that had FL or Florida in any postcard category (plus another 300 items, I have no idea where they came from). I couldn't get back to categories, finally I had to log out and log back in again to get a reasonable search back. What a nightmare!

I had it happen too. I noticed when I looked at an item it said "You are on the Playground" on the top and I was able to get out of it by clicking to return to normal search (the link on the bottom of the page did not work). The view I saw was like the "To go" widget with mosaic of images and no titles - mouse over the picture and get title and price etc..YUCK!
