Search Doesn't Find My Keywords

I've got a few classified ads placed for my store. Under Search All, quite frequently I can't find my listing using keywords (with mature on or off..doesn't matter). Some of the keywords do seem to pull up my listing but there is no consistancy to it. And sometimes I'll find it one week and its gone the next.

Am I doing something wrong or is Search All relatively useless? Txs!

are you seperating the keywords with commas?

Search no longer can tell the difference

you need to use spaces now.

I don't think it really matters....I've tried both. But as an example, the first keyword in one of my ads is "celtic". My store, Haven Designs, does not show up when u search on that. But another keyword is "tartan" (comma separated) and when you search on that, my store IS listed.

We need a Yahoo style category search page. I really don't like the current classifieds. Too much junk, too much spam, too many crappy places putting up their all inclusive keywords. It's really hard to find stuff. I am constantly amazed how I can read in a blog or forum about some big long-running store that I totally missed by using the classifieds/places search. I wonder to myself how many really great stores I am missing because of the way it works.
