EBay gone to the dogs???

Is it just me or has the new EBay layout been a massive step backwards. From first appearances there appears to be no way to search the content of an auction listing.

For example I used to frequently search for "60cm", amongst the frames or road bikes to see if there were any bargains to be had but it appears that the search function now only looks at the action title. Is the only way to look for a specific frame size by trawling through the text of each add manually? I can't believe that's the case, I must be missing something here :?

    Top of your screen you'll see the Search window, next to that "Advanced Search", click on that, screen opens with options to search Title & description, putting 60cm into that and specifying "Sporting Goods" category, throws up

I bought this at XMAS time and have only used it once. It is in 'as new condition'. I paid £245 for the bike.

    I think it is a 60cm frame but I am not an expert on bikes. I am 6ft tall and it is just fine for me.

    Local pick up only please. Grab a bargain."
    You can cut out all the other crud by clicking on "Cycling" then "Bikes" in the "Matching Categories" side list.

    Go on, tell me I'm brilliant! :D
