    Can we remove the ebay cars for sale threads from search results?

    As title.

    It's bloody annoying when searching for something when you have to trawl through pages and pages of those bloody egay for sale threads.

    Cheers

    I wasn't too sure where it was to be honest.

    Not really a big deal I suppose. I just ended up searching for Vectra buyers guide and found it on the first page.

    Ebay motors is a royal PITA there is double post galore unregistered sheds a plenty, that with the sheer number of for sale threads going up is making the board look like a commercial sales site.

    Why not have a separate thread for Ebay motors and have the option to omit it when searching the whole forum?

    Ebay motors thread is annoying as hell alright, very off putting when trying to browse new threads.

    Can we not have it as an option to block all posts from it or something??

    Re: Can we remove the ebay cars for sale threads from search results?

    does the search "mechanism" not allow you to for example search for "Calibra rear bushes" and then leave a space then put -ebay ?
    This might give results for the search minus everything with the word ebay in it such as items on the ebay for sale page?
    or could the search facility be altered to allow this to work?
