The following steps will help you to increase search result accuracy.
- If the results are unsatisfactory, reduce the number of words (e.g., "bicycle framework" instead of "carbon bicycle frame work").
- Avoid keywords which are too specific or specialized (e.g., "4X4 Honda ATV")
- Only search one product at a time.
- Don't include a country/region's name in your search (e.g., "shoe Malaysia").
- Don't include the word "buyer" or "seller" in your keyword phrase (e.g., "shoe buyer").

- Use the asterisk (*) sign: To broaden your search, use an asterisk (*) at the end of a word or partial word. For example, "auto*" would return all postings starting with "auto", such as "auto" or "automobile" or "automation", etc.
- Use quotation marks (" "): For exact results, use quotation marks (e.g., "ac adapter"). If the results are not satisfactory, try again without quotation marks (e.g., ac adapter).
- Use the plus (+) sign: When using the operator "+" a keyword will definitely appear in the search results (i.e. "red+apple" will return results containing "apple", but may not contain "red", although those with the word "red" will be listed first.) Please note: Do not leave any spaces between the "+" sign and the keyword.
- Use the minus (-) sign: When using the operator "-" sign, a keyword will not appear in the search results. (i.e. "apple-red" will return all results containing "apple", but no results containing "red" will appear.) Please note: Do not leave any spaces between the "-" sign and the keyword.
- Remember, make sure that no punctuation marks except +, -, and " " are included in your keyword phrase (i.e. bearing 3000/sec).
