Searching for draughtsmans table or drawing table or similar.
I put easel in also to see if any were listed elsewhere.
I came across one for 99p, title was. A1 Standing Blundell Harling Drawing Board for Designers/Architects
Odd that this appeared with the search word as Easel? But then odder still when i added words to omit from the search that this listing did not have and it got removed?
So it appears with the word easel when thats not in the title. But its in the category or easels. But then remove listings with the word chalk or children and this item gets removed?
Anyone want to try it and see if its me?
search the whole of ebay for easel. tick UK only and see if this is on your list. 231468565520
Then use -chalk to remove any with the word chalk or -children. It gets removed no matter what i put.
Is it me?

Ebay search is a law unto itself. I would expect it to show up when you search for easels as ebay search does search the item specifics and the category items are listed in and as it is listed under easels with easel in item specifics it's not a surprise it shows up in search but why it disappears when you put -chalk is anyones guess!0
