FAQ & Usage Page

Search Types	Usage

Misspell Search	The Misspell Search option will allow you to search the site of your choice for items that are not spelled correctly. By doing so the search will locate hundreds of items that normal search engines over look. This option is on by default and can only be overridden by the Normal Search option.
eBay Stores	The eBay Store option will only search for misspelled items listed in eBay Stores. This is an exceptional option since all of these items are listed with the "Buy it Now" option. Many Store operators are high volume sellers giving more chance for error in their listings.
Normal Search	This option will allow you to search with the speed of our servers. Many dial-up customers find this search as an advantage for them.
Want it Now	eBay's want it now is a version of eBay stores in reverse. A potential customer places a want ad on eBay and buyers make them offers. Lowest price usually wins. But with our misspell search of the "want it now" area you can find frustrated buyers that no one has given them an offer, giving you the opportunity to sell them an item at a higher price.
eBay Motors	Believe it or not sellers actually misspell automobiles, trucks, boats, and all the accessories that go with them. Our misspell search functions the same on eBay motors as it functions on normal eBay sites.

Search Options	Usage

Paypal only	Paypal only will search for misspelled items that have the "paypal only" option.
Title & Descriptions	This will result in a huge number of search results. It works just like the title and description search on the eBay site except all the items returned will have misspellings in them.
Include Original Word	This will search for misspelled items and also include the original item in your search.
Buy it now	Buy it now only will search for misspelled items that have the "Buy it now" option.
Exclude the original word	A few of the more alert sellers have known for years that people misspell items they are searching for. With this filter option we can remove these items from the search results.
Attach words to Search	This is a handy option if you would like to narrow your search results down. For example: You are looking for a Diamond Ring so you type in the word Diamond Ring and you get 700 return hits. But you need a Size 7. So the include a word would look for misspelled variations of the words diamond ring and always look for size 7. Another example: Lets say you are looking for a dell laptop. Chances are slim that someone would misspell both words. So you would set the search to look for the word laptop then attach the word Dell so the search would return variations of the word laptop but only for Dell computers.
Exclude these words	This is very useful option to narrow down your search results. Searching for misspelled variations of the word computer will also include the word commuter and yes occasionally an auction for commuter memorabilia will get listed and if you are looking for a computer this is not useful to you. This option will allow you to exclude word's from your search results
Number of Bids	If you are looking for a Misspelled Diamond Ring chances are you would like to be the only bidder. With this option you can search from 0 to as many bids as you would like to return in your search.
