eBay wants a buyer to enter a search term and be presented with competitively priced products that closely match their requirements, offered by sellers with excellent customer service. Search is at the center of online shopping, for eBay and everyone else as well.

An enjoyable and efficient shopping experience keeps buyers coming back to the site which is good for eBay and, of course, good for sellers too. Why is search so important? eBay’s mission is for buyers to have the best shopping experience possible, to help them find relevant products and complete purchases easily. It is named after the Cassini space probe and replaced eBay’s previous space-themed search engine, Voyager.

For weak listings: end, optimize and relistĬassini is the name of eBay’s current search engine technology, introduced back in 2013.
