The answer has now been posted. eBay search wording question

Belenus

GabbaGabbaHey has given me the search wording that I wanted.

Hi, I regularly look for new listings of opera Blu Rays on eBay. 

I search like this:

Blu Ray Bizet

Then another search

Blu Ray Verdi

Then another search

Blu Ray Puccini

Can I do one combined search like this?

Blu Ray and Bizet or Verdi or Puccini

so that all Blu Rays by any of those composers are found.

I search for about 12 composers so reducing twelve searches to one would save me time.

Thanks

Why not just save each search then you will get an email with any new listings that meet your search criteria

GabbaGabbaHey

Blu Ray (Bizet, Verdi, Puccini, composer4, composer5)

will do what you want. If any of the composers have 2-word names, then put double quotes around their names (e.g. "Malcolm McLaren").

Also, to ensure you get all possible combinations of Blu-Ray, including misspellings, you could use:

("blu ray", "blu-ray", "blue ray", bluray, blueray) (bizet, verdi, puccini, "malcolm mclaren", mozart)

Thanks but I would be buried under that many emails.

I just tried that and it is exactly what I wanted.

Many thanks.
