Also firefox has a nifty feature called "keyword search". If you rightclick the searchfield on ebay you can choose: "Add a Keyword for this search..." That lets you add a bookmark with a keyword field, enter something short like the letter "e". Now you can type "e <item number>" in the address field, and it usually gives you a hit (sometimes ebay fails... ebay is a mess). It's really handy, a wikipedia search is no "w <subject>" for me. /P
