Or Amazon. Amazon's search sucks.
Results are often completely irrelevant, or dismissive of the search terms.
You search for a refrigerator filter from a known refrigerator manufacturer and the first results you get are the toxic offbrand refrigerator filters from companies with randomly generated company names that poison your entire family.
- waboremo 4y agoThat combined with Amazon's aggressive category filtering is annoying. Search a generic term like rings, it forces you into the clothing category without the ability to switch. You have to then slap on more keywords in hopes it navigates to the right category, because manually changing the category while including generic searches does not work. It does not matter if you first went to the category you believe your search to be in. Somehow Amazon has managed to make the bloated Aliexpress experience seem more straight forward and easy to navigate.
- 29athrowaway 4y agoAmazon, despite having a high bar for hiring, has fallen victim to one of the most trivial forms of SEO. Companies create multiple subsidiaries with randomly generated names, so they can spam search results and faceted results with their products and exclude other vendors. Search for "flying bird cat toy" and you'll see what I mean. Much of that could be solved using a filter by country of origin. Because the usual suspects are always from the same territory. Why is this necessary? because shell companies sell products loaded with lead, cadmium, phthalates, formaldehyde, VOCs, and other highly toxic stuff.
