Search partial matches in title, not only exact match

eBay searches each word in the title, but 3Dsellers are searching for title word order

can we change this and do it like ebay?

Great news, the listings search has been improved:

Let Listing Manager Behave like eBay Search Engine (Default Behaviour)

There had been the implementation of "fuzzy search" lately. I would still suggest that the default behavior should be "all words in any order" instead of "exact phrase". This would be more intuitive, as most search engines (like ebay or Google) work this way.

I second that.
Searching "Item ID" should be exact match, and this is working fine.
When searching "SKU" 3dsellers takes the input keyword (no white space) as a partial match, so multiple result is possible and this is working fine as well.
Searching "Title" unfortunately doesn't sound right when more than one keyword (separated by a white space) are entered. Just like SKU search, this takes the input keywords as a partial match, but the input keywords MUST be in sequence and that's causing a major problem.
For example a full title as "17-21 Honda Civic Type-R Trunk Spoiler Wing"
Say I search "Civic Spoiler" -> no result found because the "Type-R Trunk" in between were missing.
Now another search "Civic Honda" -> no result found as well because the keywords must be in sequence but reversed.
Even when using filter search the keywords must be in sequence.
Currently the workaround is to use filter search, one keyword per filter. For the former it would be "Civic" as filter1 and "Spoiler" as filter2. And this is NOT convenient at all, as if 3dsellers doesn't even offer any basic search. Not expecting a robust one like ebay, but the "in sequence" requirement should be removed.
