The problem is compounded by their seeming desire to always claim they have something
I did a search recently for a specific part. "39SF010". (a ~USD1.50-3 flash-ROM chip that is backordered til next year from "legitimate" vendors and from the manufacturer themselves). This is one keyword, and a pretty damn distinctive one. There's little room for there to be a "helpful" algorithm to fix my typing into something better.
With the default results, the first page contained 48 items. Exactly ONE was a relevant product. As a customer, I'd have been perfectly happy to see "results 1-1 of 1" and called it a day. But Amazon clearly didn't want to admit their warehouses are not infinite. There would be some potentially competent fuzzy match options there, but they whiffed it hilariously. Show me some other flash-ROMs, or at least other ICs, programmers, or breadboards, or those starter-kit boxes of no-brand resistors and capacitors... but they instead listed a bunch of toothbrush heads, a box of cookies, three random power bricks, a barbecue grille, flourescent bulbs, and a set of power tools running north of $1500.
