Yeah, their search is basically the main thing keeping me away from their store.
If I type in EXACTLY what I want, down to the exact type number, it’ll first show me things that vaguely have the same text, followed by things in the same category, followed by something totally random like a waffle iron, and MAYBE on page 2, there’s the thing I need. Show me that FIRST, not the slew of crappy clone/fake/off-brand shit or things not even in the same category.
I usually have better luck just going to Google and searching it that way. Usually that gets me to the item straight away. Like it should be.
