I stopped searching on Amazon for this reason. It's optimized for selling me crap based on some probabilistic machine-learning thingy that's trying to guess what items have the highest likelihood to make me spend money. Amazon no longer had the edge in terms of cost nor the exclusivity in terms of inventory. I still occasionally buy stuff on there when they do have a price advantage, but that's becoming rarer and rarer. eBay still has one of the best searches if you know exactly what you want as they support more complex queries, eg. (adidas,puma,nike) high top 11 -womens (black, red) But they don't have everything of course. More and more I find myself using Google Shopping then buying at some specialized site. It may take 3 days instead of 2 to come to be and it may require I type in my payment info but many support Apple Pay and for those who don't, I memorized my credit card number making checkout very fast.
