Your Website Search Hurts My Feelings
I wouldn't mind this huge ad so much if the pancake mix was made with lentil flour...on second thought, that doesn't sound good:
And if I complain about not being able to sort by price/quality (or weight), I assume some people will point out that choice adds complexity. But it's hard to understand what value this choice is adding:
Since we're talking about facets, I'm curious what category those other 632 products fall under:
At costco, a search for "rice" yields this amazing facet:
Surprise, the search returned 25 results (seriously).
I'm particularly intrigued by rice that isn't vegan, lactose free, or gluten free:
The sorting made me check wiki to see how much revenue they have ($242 billion):
There must be a term in information theory that describes what's going on here:
You can't tell, but the 2nd result is also alcohol free (the first 10 results are). For any Singaporean thinking that Alibaba ruined Lazada who ruined Redmart: no.
I don't think anyone would be offended if I said e-commerce in the Philippines has a lot of catching up to do. But this first page search result is something else (yes, they sell a lot of other laundry detergent):
The inspiration for this post is that nintendo.com lets you filter for 2+
players, but that includes single system, local wireless and online. So there's no way to get a list of games that supports couch coop. Unless you want to check 1680 games that is:
Haha, J/K. The search won't return more than 1000 records.
And while we're talking about nintendo.com, if you goto Games > Nintendo Switch Games:
You'll get 120 games and only 120 games. Of course the list of switch games isn't under Games > Nintendo Switch Games that would be silly. But, for days I've tried and failed to figure out what these 120 games have in common and why they get this special treatment. I can't sleep.
