Amazon wasn't initially a search engine. A9 was created in 2004, by Amazon.
- moepstar 5y agoYes, according to this[0] you're right. Anyways, the point still stands - for a company that also has/operates a search engine, the results one gets when entering a search-term on Amazon.com are comically bad - to the point i really wonder if they even try. The results could only be worse if they won't return any results at all. But, i suppose, it'd be bad for their bottomline if they'd only show you what you've searched for and not return hundreds of products which supposed brand-names oftentimes is alike to $BARELYRECOGNIZABLEENGLISHWORDS [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A9.com#A9.com_search_portal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A9.com#A9.com_search_portal
