The thing that I hate the most about Amazon search is that they return partial matches. So if I search "evaporative humidifier" half of the results don't have the word "evaporative" in them and I am just wasting my time scrolling though and having to carefully read the descriptions.
It seems that they try their hardest never to return an empty page, but this is extremely frustrating to a consumer because I would much rather you just tell me that you don't have something, or only have 10, rather than spreading those 10 matches over 20 pages of junk results.
I guess their thought is that the results may be "close enough" but they aren't! If I am ok with compromising I'll remove some conditions from my search upon seeing an empty result list. (here is an idea: recommend which terms I can remove to find the most results) But they just ignore random terms, even if some terms are negotiable for me they will get me to waste so much time scrolling though the items that don't match the critical terms that I no check other sites first.
