I feel a little stupid posing such a basic questions, but here I go:

I search for two books called Anonym and Amateur by the author/photographer Bramly:
bramly (anonym,amateur) - All Words - results in too few finds

I search for three books Love Song, Dare and Les amants étrangers by Philip José Farmer
farmer (amants,"love song",dare) - All Words - is fine (or so I believe Smile

Nev, or anybody else, can you please explain in a few short sentences how the options All/Any/Exact next to the include keywords modify the search expression.

Thanks,
Ted

That's not a stupid question. Even I don't really know the answer!

I'm just providing what's on the advanced ebay search page.

'Any' is the default and your search term can specify all the same things you can specify on ebay, ie the parentheses etc.
