In order to search the item database in the most efficient way to return the most relevant results, the following should be done:
Keep your search as accurate as possible for the item that you are looking for. If you are looking for "green eggs and ham" and you search for "eggs," you will either get irrelevant results or no results. You should try to type in exactly what you want to appear for results.
Use only normal characters in your search. "Normal characters" refers to the regular letters of the alphabet in any case (upper or lower), as well as common characters such as:
‘)(*$#.,
You should never use slashes, greater than or less than signs, quotes, or mathematical operators.
Do not begin you search with any character besides a letter.98% of the time, this will either return an error or no results.
