Screwfix Search Box
Wanted to acquire some rubber feet for the bottom of a cabinet to stop
it scratching the desk. You know.....circular or square. Self adhesive or screw-on; I'm flexible and open to options. Shop of choice is Screwfix, about 1 mile from home. Search for "rubber feet" and I am offered a wheelbarrow tyre. In fact whatever I search for I can't find what I want. I'm not even sure they sell them at all. Do the same on Amazon or eBay and instantly loads of options. Screwfix search engine is ****e. |

I think it's because they don't sell them that you can't find them not that the search engine is at fault!

A lot of shopping sites have rather facile searches that find anything containing *any* of the key words. So you get further by using single keywords and choosing them carefully than by using longer search terms. Having said that, I think Screwfix probably don't sell any. I'd try Maplin if you really want a real life shop. -- Roger Hayter |

These might be suitable, they are not rubber, nor are they feet. https://www.screwfix.com/p/door-cush...-49-pack/18213 -- |

Reminds me of the bloke that wanted to buy some condoms and the pharmacist said they were out of stock and suggested he try boots! Seriously, what are seat buffers, and where might they be purchased? |

It is utterly craptastic. But searching for "foot" or "feet" alone produces only a few results, none of them what you're looking for. Likewise searching for "pad" which might have produced something like adhesive felt pads. Wickes is better, but has the annoying feature of clearing the search box with each search, so if you only need to modify your search terms slightly you still need to type the whole lot again. But search Wickes for "pad" and select "ironmongery" to find adhesive felt pads. Wilko's search is similar; basically dumb but it lets you narrow the results from sensible categories, so searching rubber and selecting DIY results in a listing for "rubber buffers" which are nearly the sort of thing you're looking for. Wilko calls a felt pad a "felt floor protector". I often resort to eBay rather than spend ages trying to find stuff locally. |

Many firms with an online presence would still much rather you trekked around their stores as in that way they can more easily tempt you into buying things other than what you were originally looking for. Quite possibly the same applies with their search engines if they're forever throwing up irrelevant "suggestions" for stuff you'd never think of buying otherwise. As a retailer, I'd guess the worst kind of customer is the one who walks into your store, or visits your website, knows exactly what he or she wants, and either buys it or rejects any suggested alternatives, and walks/clicks out straightway afterwards. michael adams .... |
