eBay’s Fast Billion-Scale Vector Similarity Engine

I dislike eBay search, for example all of a sudden one of my daily bookmarked searches went from the usual 10 results to THOUSANDS, all of them not including my search term, this is the link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Tasmota&LH_PrefLoc=1&...

Why are some sellers having all their listings (car parts) included in my search for "Tasmota"?

That's interesting, I've seen it happening randomly that a search query would return unrelated results for 1 out of 100 queries using the same query.

In your example however, it seems to me that if you add quotes, the irrelevant results are gone: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=%22Tasmota%22
