What's an eBay Power Search? - A Power Search lets you run many similar searches as one search. So with a Power Search you can have hundreds of queries searching eBay and get one search result / email.

How do I setup a Power Search? - A Power Search gets most of its search setting by 'Linking To' a SearchDome search and using it as its 'Template'. The Power Search will run based on the settings it inherits from its template.

First you need to upload your Power Search search data. Power search data consists of a name and data that you upload into the SearchDome database. The file you upload should be a CSV (Comma separated) file that contains your search data. Currently, only two values can be passed in each row of data, first a 'Search Keyword' and second a 'Highest Price'. Here is a sample CSV file layout:

Rolling Stones Hat, 5.00

Rolling Stones Watch, 15.00

Rolling Stones Poster, 10.00

Rolling Stones Jacket, 50.00

Next you need to create a SearchDome search and set the search 'Type' to PowerSearch. Now you can select a Power search data file that you uploaded. This lets the SearchDome search engine know that this search will be used as a template and the search keyword and highest price values will come from a Power Search file you have uploaded.

When the Power Search runs, the 'Search Keyword' and the 'Highest Price' values you uploaded will be substituted with the values in your template. An eBay search will be executed once for each row of data that was uploaded.
