Auction search suggestions?

If I want to search for a Remington Model 30 in the auction listings, and I search for "Remington Model 30," it pulls up every auction using the words Remington, Model, and 30. in other words, way more than I want to see.

Can I make the search function select that exact wording?

    My suggestion would be to use the subcategories on the
    left side of the page after the initial search....
    Hope that helps.....

    In the advanced auction search page, there is a box at the top that says "search words", then there is a box to the right that says "All of these words". Click on the down arrow in that box and select "Exact Phrase". That should get you exact results.

    Here's a link to the page.

    What Bubba said, or use " " quotes on your Remington Model 30, just like you did in this post. "Remington Model 30" instead of Remington Model 30. Then it finds all those words in the exact order.

    Using the quotation marks worked perfectly. Thanks to both of you for the help.
