Overture broad matching...

not working...

[jefsing]

I currently have my listings set for "standard, phrase, and broad." For example I have the following:
california widget

If you search for "california widget" my results come up fine. But, if you search for "california blue widget" my results do not come up. Am I missing something?

I've seen posts in the past about this but I would think it would have been resolved by now.

Thanks,
jeff

What search engine are you trying your results on? Broad matching is not implemented across the entire system. Only some partner sites currently use broad matching. Yahoo for instance, does not.

I've only tried with msn, yahoo and overture's own search engine.

But, those are the big ones, right? What are the other big partners?

Thanks,

Overture should be using broad match. AltaVista and alltheweb are two others.

My braod matches are not working on any of the site mentioned.

I wrote their support a couple days ago but haven't heard back
