If a listings title has the singular and plural of the title word, such as Binocular / Binoculars, will this cause the listing to show up in a customers search on Bonanza if either word is searched? Thank You.

I did a search for “bowtie” and got at least 20 pages of results and over 1,000 listings. I stopped scrolling after page 20.
I did a search for “bowties” and got exactly 132 listings over THREE pages.
Now, “bowtie” is a subset of “bowties”, so I’d expect all of the “bowtie” results to be a part of “bowties”, but NOT the other way around. That’s why most listings that I checked (also checked walkie talkie vs. walkie talkies, iMac vs. iMacs, multimeter vs. multimeters) contained both the singular and plural version of the search word in the listing.
BTW, Bonanza searches do include words that are also in the description. So, if the sellers lists both versions of the word in the title and/or description, then it shouldn’t matter what they search for. For me, I always search for the singular version of the word just so that a listing shows up.

This has always been a problem.
When I would list, I had both singular and plurals in my listings.
Searching on this site is poor as far as I am concern.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
