Product variant not showing for search for exact variant title?
Summary: strangestash is experiencing an issue where a specific product variant, 'Air Superiority JTL 125,' is not appearing in eBay search results, despite being listed correctly. After 48 hours, the issue remains unresolved, and none of the search term variations work. tressygirl mentions this is a known site issue affecting many users, and although eBay is aware, no immediate fix is available.
I have a set of 250x cards within a single product, each with their own variant (common in the trading card category as sets release so often). The set is called Jump to Lightspeed or JTL, for Star Wars Unlimited.

Title:
Star Wars Unlimited JTL Jump To Lightspeed 3x Playset SWU Set - Choose your Card
Variant Title:
Air Superiority JTL 125
For whatever reason, and it's been ~48hrs now. Searching for...
"Air Superiority JTL 125"
... leaves the product in the 'Results matching fewer words' outside of the search results. No variation of those words, even removing JTL or 125 or a combination results in it showing in search results, even though it's the EXACT variant title.
Q: Anyone know what's going on here of how to resolve this or what's going on?
(Screenshot below, my listing is the yellow one, also for what it's worth it's promoted at 10.1%)

·3 weeks agoThe Product Research tool , if that is the query here, is broken!
It's a site issue, affecting and annoying many.
We are told eBay are aware and working on the problem, but to date, no near fix is being announced.
