One day "TradeMe" may activate the exact search function. i.e. Bracketing a word within a search string with dittos, as per on most sites, results in exact 'finds'. On TradeMe - zippo/ziltch/nothing. All that comes up is a huge rubbish pile of results that may or may not have what has been searched for that can take hours of picking though - that is usually an absolute waste of time. There must be a reason why exact searches are blocked, but nothing comes to mind. Does anybody know why TradeMe blocks simple exact searches?
