Per their announcement page at http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml :

*** TITLE SEARCH STATUS ***

We are currently experiencing issues with the Title Search. It is sometimes incorrectly
displaying items whose titles do not include the requested words in addition to
displaying the correct matching items.

We are working to address this as quickly and as safely as possible. We will update you
again when more information becomes available.

Regards, eBay

My guess is that their index is corrupted.

(...) Yup. Same matches when I search 'lego train'. (75 hits, the 4th was a glass prism, about halfway down was some salad plates and a CD... didn't check beyond that) It's not just the general search that's broken either, the international search (...)
