It seems to me that every eBookstore that I've used has very poor search capabilities when it comes to finding an eBook to buy when I have no idea what I want. This includes Amazon, B&N, and Kobo.

Every one of them could use revamping to make searching easier. For example, Kobo has searching by newest release yet it also includes pre-orders and I then have to wade through many pre-orders to get to the actually released eBooks.
