I had better correct myself! I have tested a search on
shop e*gold
against
shop e-gold
and the 'e-gold' works correctly (on www.google.com or on www.ao.com.au),
and therefore better than 'e*gold' which, although it ranks e-gold sites
highly, it also includes sites simply about gold.
To filter out pages like the archives of this list, and others that simply
talk about the idea of an e-gold shop, one simply adds filters as follows:
shop e-gold -news -messages -archive -forum
which reduces the number of search results. I found a number of businesses I
had not been aware of simply from being on this list.

suggested putting 'e-gold' in there in case it filters out gold, as '-gold'
would do.
