You've asked for it, pleaded, begged. Heck, some of you have even threatened! (you know who you are) ;o)
Well, once again, we've listened and delivered.
After reading this post, please try performing a search for a product from the basic search box in the left hand column, i.e. "Star Wars". (NOTE: This does not yet work on the "Advanced Search", but it will very soon.)
You'll notice a big change. Our search enginge now returns "and" results, from the title and subtitle, without the extra ("or" possible matches.
We think this is a big step in providing buyers a simple way of finding what they're looking for and sticking around to search for more.
Please thank Sam for listening to us and taking your feedback seriously. I'll post another update when this improvement has extended to the Advanced Search.
Best wishes,
Byron from Overstock.
I gave the search function a try myself and sure enough, it is really fixed. I put in a keyword and only items with that keyword in the title show up. No Grandma's used underware. Grandpa's false teeth. No junk like bidville. We suggested the change and overstock listened. Hear that EBAY, Overstock listens to it's users.

Hi Granny! Yup, those of you that were critical of Overstock had better take a second look. The Big O does listen to the sellers. I have had about as many sales on O as I used to on eBay and it costs so much less to list.

I have to admit, I did decent on the last FLD as well. Might be worth to keep a handful of items just to keep the interest.

Great news this morning on Overstock! From February 18 to March 18, they are cutting their already low fees by 52%! Also, if you sign up you get a $10 credit towards listing fees. Yee Haw! I can't say enough about how great this site is.
