    I think Amazon search is intentionally “bad”, as it suggests unrelated items that the customer has a high chance of viewing and buying.

    So it’s not so much of “search is bad” but “search is suggesting unrelated, but potentially interesting items” which leads to more sales.

    Also this is why the item descriptions are such pain in the ass, to show them in as many searches as possible - sellers gaming the system.

    The whole platform is designed to sell you as much shit as possible, usually on top of the item you actually wanted. This way you order your shit happily with some extra items in the cart
