I understood the search to be "diyaudio on ebay", not "diyaudio".
I don't understand why he'd search for that. But the result is not IMHO "poor".
I was reporting on search results which I now see now are on Bing.
"DIYAUDIO on ebay" comes up first.
"DIYAUDIO" comes up second.
My point is search works well if you pay enough it comes up under everything.
Bing? Who uses Bing?
Microsoft Edge defaults to Bing.
Well I now know 2 people who use Edge. Both in the west of England, oddly enough.![]()
IE is pretty much obsolete now so the other Microsoft browser on Windows 10 is Edge. And Edge defaults (certainly on my latest Windows 10 install) to Bing.
If I searched for "widgets on mars", I would fully expect the first result to be the website known as "mars" and hopefully showing where "widgets" are on "mars". So I don't see anything wrong with "diyaudio on eBay" showing eBay first. You're literally asking where to find diyaudio "things" on the website known as "eBay".
If you want to find things pertaining to "eBay" on diyAudio I'd search for "eBay on diyAudio", noting that eBay has a much higher "authority" in general and would likely come up as a first result anyway as 99.9% of the population that type in "eBay" are expecting to find something on eBay itself.
To do what I think you're trying to do, you'd probably want to search for this:
site:diyaudio.com ebay
