Searching on Amazon has always been very sub-optimal, including the inability to sort by price when you need it... not sure if that ever will become a nuisance

  I've always had a sort by price option on Amazon search results, are you talking about somewhere else on the site?

    You can't do a blanket search and sort by price. You have to narrow the search down to one of their main categories. Really eliminates a significant amount of results for many searches.

      Huh, maybe I misunderstand the behavior you are talking about. Do you have a link or screen shot? Here's one I tried with "wood" and I was able to sort by price with the drop down: https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=wood&sort=price-asc-rank https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=wood&sort=price-asc-rank I stripped out a bunch of the tracking and referral stuff from the url but if you click that it will take you directly to sorted results. If you go to just https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=wood https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=wood there is a drop down to sort by price and the results don't appear to be in any specific category. e: I think I understand now, the drop down is there but you don't get search results if you select a price filter like you do with "Relevance".
