Hadn't thought of that. Yet another senior moment. Of course, I don't look for millinery - wonder what items I'm missing that *are* to do with lacemaking but listed under millinery. Under that assumption, the number of possible search words is just too great to contemplate. My actual ebay search key-word is lace*, which covers the word lace and all words that start with those 4 letters, the * being a wildcard representing any or no other letters. I suppose it should really be lac* for those sellers who can't spell and miss out the 'e' in a word like 'lacey', but then the number of words that begin with 'lac' as opposed to 'lace' would make the number of irrelevant items to trawl through unweildy.
