Pretty much every major shopping website has terrible search functionality.

I usually want something very specific, for example 60w dimmable e12 frosted warm led bulb. I have not found a single shopping website that won’t show me results without many of these terms in the description. I don’t want to see listings that say 40w and don’t say 60w anywhere, and it isn’t hard to filter them out!

Are these shopping websites bad on purpose? What’s in it for them?

    Amazon search is so bad because we wind up having to doomscroll to find that damn thing we’re looking for. Like putting milk in the back of the grocery store. You can type ‘Adidas’ and wind up digging through Nikes
