There is no single search criteria, so usually I search as follows:
1954 chev* truck
or
54 chev* truck
and, if I have time (not often), I play with the following:
1947-1954 chev* truck
47-54 chev* truck
1948-1954 chev* truck
48-54 chev* truck
1948-1953 chev* truck
48-53 chev* truck
I think you can now save up to 30 search criteria and this is helpful if you do not type well/fast (my two-fingered typing is painfully slow).
With these broad searches, it is sometimes helpful to run the search and then select sub categories on the left (vehicles and parts, for examples). I am not interested in toys and models so I eliminate these. Select the sub categories you want, and then search again. Then save the search (for future use).
Good luck,
Tim
