eBay to integrate eBay Express Search Technology into Auction Site Next Year

[regic]

The eBay Research Labs was on hand at the eBay Developers Conference over the weekend strutting off their brainy stuff...

Billingsley, Raghav Gupta and Adrian Cockcroft were demonstrating their new search technology. Currently, a search for iPod nano brings back many accessories on eBay.com. However, with the new search, it will bring back listings for actual iPod nanos. Users may be able to adjust the relevancy of the results with price point to give them more advanced searching options.

The new technology is already somewhat integrated into eBay Express, but won't be introduced to the core platform (eBay.com) until next year.

Was this the big news that is supposed to make store owners so happy?? 

Did I miss something or isn't the fucked up search one of the things sellers (and presumably buyers - what few there are) hate most about Express?
