Search word manipulation

When I serach for SAGEM, why do I get 60,000+ items of other rubbish, items which do not include this word ??
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=sagem&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Looking at the results I assume ebay has included SAMSUNG & possibly other words in the word search, but that is NOT what I want !!
Is there any way to switch this search word manipulation/replacement off so I ONLY see items with the word SAGEM ??
I know ebay think they know best, but I think I know what I am looking for & want to see.

(Brackets)
ETA: or quotation marks.
It's also under advanced search- right at the first drop down box, just choose one of the exact words options.This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine:kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine.

Do you know what the search is doing for word without brackets, just curious.TurkishDelight wrote: »http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=%28sagem%29&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=sagem&_osacat=0&bkBtn=

(same result as Advanced Search All words, Any order)
It finds 60,000 items, but I can't see the word is in most of these listings anywhere.
