lol I remember when the vintage sections were clogged up with stupid WoW gold/credits etc that went on for pages without interruption when I wanted to browse all retro machines at once sorted by price.

You could of course search for "amiga -world" though ;)

I will have to try "amiga -world".  I knew there was a way to ignore a certain word. Thanks.

I've also noticed a strange effect with ebay searches too. If you type in "Amiga game" and search it picks out loads of auctions with just the word amiga. To get round it you have to put both words in double quotes. Kinda mad. Also I have some absolutely OTT searches in the general section saved that look like scientific formulas with all the brackets comas and minus signs in max length value for the input field, works a treat though as it filters out all the machines I do and don't want :)

edit: double quotes required around both words I mean. Double quotes around the phrase "amiga game" like that alone will miss out things titled "Amiga A500/600/1000/2000 game Lotus II" etc ;)
