Default Country-specific ebay stamps search engine

Those performing regularly country-specific or subject-related ebay
searches might be interested to try the search generator at

http://www.volny.cz/phist/stamps.htm

You can search by country of interest, by selected subjects (censored
mail, field post, perfins, postage due, prisoners´ mail, railway mail,
reply coupons, rural mail, ship mail) or by both and to narrow the
search by additional keywords. Fast and easy tool for advanced search
in the stamps category. Description or title search. Search is
performed internationally over all ebay sites.

Regards

When I click on the Search button, it just returns me to the same page.
What is going wrong?

Also, looking at the source for the page, I see that you are using
wildcards within OR searches. This didn't used to work, but trying it
myself I see that it does now. Any idea when this changed?

The search site is very incomplete. I assume Mr. Volny in Czecho-
slovakia established the list; it does not exist anymore. Many are
not listed, like Israel, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt; there could
be many others, as I did not search beyond these five countries.

I apologize for the inconvenience, Tony. I have forgotten to mention
that only European and American countries are supported so far. Other
countries can be added if there exists serious interest.

The possibility to search by wildcards within OR searches was added
during last year. It was not officially announced by ebay, same as
with other changes in the search engine performed last year.

Thank you for your interest

Rob
