>>Will Decimate Their Bottom Lines<<

If the headline is to be believed, it’s only a reduction of 10%.

Words mean things.

Amazon is attempting to deal with a real problem. Their search system is essentially useless. Search on most anything, and you get hundreds of non matching items. Even a specific brand and model number can return hundreds of irrelevant items, and the one you want is usually not first. Most of the time I need a specific item, I have to find the correct brand and model on some other site, and then enter it in Amazon. It’s also very aggravating that the “search by price” feature doesn’t sort by price. I assume its because Amazon has some vendors that are more equal than others.

Bingo. This has become a real pain in the derriere. It IS a problem for Amazon, and a frustration for customers doing searches.
