Funny how we are supposedly able to grade millions of students with an
"algorithm" and yet can't appear to devise an even halfway decent search
feature for online stores. By which I mean one that when you search for
(say) an SSD drive, doesn't return a shed load of SSD holders that
somehow manage to remain in the search at £4.99 when you set the price
range to £50-100 (looks at Amazon). Mysteriously though, you can almost
always sort by colour.

eBay also has the added fun of trying to exclude China-shipped items.


The Ebay search option is the worst I ever use. But not helped by sellers
putting 'not XXX' in their description so their product appears in your
search for XXX.
