I'm trying to search for "vintage brown spongeware bowl." The search bar keeps changing "spongeware" into "stoneware." Doesn't matter how I change it up or if I put quotations. I simply typed in "spongeware" and it changed it to "stoneware." I change it back. It changes it again. I change it back. It changes it again. Then I have pages and pages of things I am not looking for. Do I have to go to Google to search on Etsy? I'd really like to buy the bowl on Etsy and not eBay. Any ideas?

Sponge Ware.
Entered as two words the notoriously un-user-friendly Etsy search engine did not switch sponge to stone.

Re: Search Keeps Changing My Search Words

This is happening to me right now!! I'm searching "dial camera" and it keeps changing it to "dual camera." There is no option to force it to search for what I typed in (like on Google). This is so obnoxious! ETSY PLEASE FIX THIS. You're not helping anybody by forcing what you assume they are searching for.

@TheCrownArts  This thread is a zombie so will probably be closed. You should see this above the search results (at least on a PC):

Showing results for dual camera. Search instead for dial camera.

I typed vintage brown SPONGEWEAR bowl, and it showed me listings correctly.
