That item is the lowest cost of the options depicted, and has more reviews (which are proportional to sales) than the rest combined. I think most algorithms would put it on top.
- ethbr1 2y agoAh yes, the "ignore what I asked for, push me what sells the best" search algorithms.
- diggan 2y agoThe results for the search "funda" are all smartphone or tablet covers, or covers for laptop. Except for that one Amazon Basics product which is a cover/protector for hard-drives. That doesn't seem at least a tiny bit odd to you?
- nickff 2y agoIt has a lot of reviews, and the word "funda" in the title; makes sense to me that it would be at the top.
- diggan 2y agoBelow its ranking (scrolling, not visible in the screenshot) are products with exact same score + more reviews + "funda" in the title. Shouldn't those, by your understanding, rank above the Amazon Basic product then?
- nickff 2y agoMaybe; depending on their age, the content of the product page (videos, comparisons, etc.), delivery time, and the rate at which those who see the listing purchase it (after searching funda). I am guessing that Amazon uses some sort of Bayesian+ algorithm to figure out what to list.
