New Observations - How search NOW works | Selling

In researching a magazine I wanted to list when I search using "Rock & Gem Magazine March 1997" the exact item comes up as listed 13th. The first 12 are assortment of Rolling Stones Magazines + 1 Wrestling Magazine. If I drop the march 1997 similar magazines do appear but even farther down the shown search results. When you click on the exact match item(original search) it brings up a large quantity of similar Rock & Gem editions in the promotion banner(s). Is this how search is supposed to work now going forward? In other tests comparing both eBay and Google using the same keywords recently, often more eBay exact match results will come display in Google vs eBay. Sounds very counter intuitive. Seems too bad we don't have a choice as to what gets shown as promoted in our own listings vs suggesting potential buyers getting sent elsewhere. Directly to other sellers. -Lotzofuniquegoodies Current traffic report. Pre promoted listings ratio was 5:2(3). This new ratio would be fine if sales numbers matched. Sadly, they don't. Not even close.
