Search problems - vtg vs vintage panties

There's been a bug for at least a year that I'm aware of that just got fixed. On listings for vintage panties, the abbreviation for vintage ebay 'gave' us didn't work. If you listed vtg panties the only people who would see your item in their search results were those who did a search for vtg panties. If they searched for vintage panties - you weren't there. So it's now fixed and vtg panties returns the same amount as vintage panties. The word 'panties' got on one of ebay's 'blacklists'. This particular blacklist will not return the expanded search results - no idea why but you know there is no logic any more with ebay. The only other word I'm sure of that's on that particular blacklist is dior but there are more, no idea how many. I just got an email from marnisue telling me about the fix and she also said they were 'planning' on fixing the search for items on that blacklist but had no ETA as to when it would get fixed. ebay's new motto, "If it ain't broke, break it!"
