I just tried a search for used Kindle books and got results. That should not happen.

Advanced search is an advanced mess.

Amazon is a big enough company to have a good search engine. Why don't they?
I don't want to make a comment about which site has the best search--they all have good and bad points.

I am, however, interested in the statement that I emphasized above. Have you ever found a general book store that separated the Fantasy from the Science Fiction? (I'm not talking about specialized stores like Baen)
