It is 5382, aquazone accesory pack.  The title is
Lego 5382 Aquazone Minifigs Town City Space
obviesly this has nothing to do with town, city, or space.  I found it on a
search for 'lego space.'He does not mention something like 'these are also
good for space' or something like that.  They just appear in the title.  Is
this keyword spamming?

It could be considered that, but I don't find this type of thing of any great
importance.  Ebay allows a certain number of characters for the auction title
and this seller was just a bit creative.

What I want to know from you is WHY are you searching for the term 'lego
space'
if you are searching only within the lego category???
This link -->
http://listings.ebay.com/aw/listings/list/all/category18998/index.html places
you in the top Lego category and will return results from anything lower in
the
hierarchy.  Everything is supposed to be Lego, so there is NO NEED to search
for the word 'lego'  Now you can search for 'space' or '6991' or 'blacktron'
and get the best possible results.  After all, some item listings do not use
the term 'lego' in their auction title so you would end up missing those.

Side note:  searching for 'lego' from the main ebay home page listings will
return items that are NOT the little plastic parts that we all love--you will
get Lego pottery and various other stuff, too.  Lego is a word used by other
manufacturers besides The Lego Group (which they can do if what they make and
sell is nothing like what TLC makes and sells).
