I chose unwisely on the example.
Try searching for:
prissteen
and your search will change to 'pristeen'
Sorry,

Warning... eBay has a new "feature" (AKA bug) they now run ALL search strings
through a spell checker. If you want to search for some word that is spelt
differently than their opinion or is not in their 'dictionary', you MUST enclose
it in quotes e.g.: "wireles". is automatically converted to wireless This means
that all those carefully crafted search strings saved as bookmarks are not
necessarily any good any more.
Progress... NOT !!
