Search using the wildcard symbol (*) is no longer supported.

I used it all the time to do searches. It was really a time saver but it is no more.

I used it all the time.

Say you had a signed painting and you couldn't make out the last 2 letters - you could put in picas* painting and the search would include any painting by Picasso.

Or say you are looking for Jadite glass - sellers list it as Jadite, Jaditeware or Jadeite. Jad* glass would get you to all the Jadite. You would see alot of other stuff as well but you get the idea.

I was hoping it was just a temporary ebay glitch.

So much for saving time....
