shagmidmod	posted on October 7, 2008 09:03:15 AM new Did I miss some news??? I did a search for something I am selling. One word was in the title and the other word was in the subtitle. My item didn't come up in the search. So, I eliminated the subtitle word and it came up. I tried it with a few other auctions and find the same thing. Did I miss an an announcement about subtitles not being searchable??? Why pay for a subtitle if it doesn't work?

fluffythewondercat	posted on October 7, 2008 10:21:55 AM new No, neglus is correct: Subtitles never came up in title search. They come up in title + description search, though, or at least they are supposed to. fLufF -- Planning to visit New Mexico? Beware of fake Native American jewelry!

neglus	posted on October 7, 2008 10:50:36 AM new You can use them to make the item stand out on a search page or to highlight something extra you are offering - ie FREE SHIPPING! or "Free gift with every order" etc. They aren't worth the $ for sure but if you are already offering free shipping and getting them for free, then the price is right. ------------------------------------- http://stores.ebay.com/Moody-Mommys-Marvelous-Postcards?refid=store
