Amazon search is the Ask Jeeves of online retail search engines. Fight me.

Here I am, yet again, looking for something slightly specific, a ceiling fan with a pull cord. Enter it in the search bar, get wall fans as the top result.

Oh, wait, I can filter by Pull chain in the side bar.

Bezos: "HAHA! Fucking sucker, I can't believe you fell for that!"

But it's ok, I'll make it up to you by recommending a bunch of random shit you never searched for.

Bezos: "Look, I know that you know what you want to buy. But I want you to buy something else, so I'm going to make it as difficult as possible to find a damn thing you actually want, so you break down and just buy what I want to sell you instead."

"Oh, BTW, I see you are trying to use an actually slightly competent search engine like picclick to bypass my shit search engine, so we made sure that anytime you click the amazon link it just kicks you to the main page and not the product listing. Don't cross me again."

I know, I'll ask rufus!

"don't ask rufus. Rufus has some special needs and it would be discrimination to ask rufus to do any actual work. We do not tolerate discrimination around here, unless it's towards customers that have any fucking clue whatsoever about what they want to buy!"
