I more thing I hate about amazon search is that they deliberately fuck up the search results when you sort by price.
Like if you are looking for a graphics card (on amazon.in) and you sort it by price then relevance totally goes out of the window. It will start showing results for fans, cables and everything else with the first card on 20th page. Sometimes the search results don't have the word in title description. It's so annoying.
P.S. also the number of search results drastically decreases by applying the sorting. How can sorting something reduce the results by half.
- beeboop 5y agoPrice sorting on Amazon has never worked. Never. It's always been completely useless and I can only imagine that it's useless by design.
- glitcher 5y agoYep, and because of this I tend to only sort by price from high to low for things like graphics cards. It's faster to skip pages on the highest priced items than it is on the lowest.

To be fair here, that's the reasonable way to handle this. If I want to sort by price and Amazon orders the result by something random and then maybe price, it's far worse. Amazon could of course improve this by allowing more search filters, but the current state is definetly better than adding something like "relevancy" when all I want is the cheapest items.
