Bingo! It also sounds like a lot of people are impatient and want to find what they want right now rather than having to do a bit of searching or guess work to find what they want.
There is nothing wrong with comparison shopping, or going to another site to find exactly what I want then putting that precise title into Amazon to pop up. I recently did it when I went to replace my old Sony tv with a new Sony tv. I first went to Sony and found a few that desirable, and then plugged them into Amazon til I made my decision. Yes, it might have taken a bit longer, but at the end of the day I got exactly what I wanted and from the comfort of my home pc.
There is no such thing as a perfect search engine.
