>Google has been regularly losing marketshare to Amazon because people perform searches for products directly there when previously it was done through google-search.
Ironically Amazon has been so aggressive with the ads recently I've lost all trust in searching on Amazon itself. I'm back to using Google to find the Amazon product page.
On Amazon I search for a specific brand and model and it's on page 4, buried until endless sponsored products. I have to go my order history to find the product page now. Sometimes the Amazon search is not just all endless products but literally incorrect products, stuff that I would have to return if I bought it by accident. Like yesterday Amazon kept showing lightbulbs with the wrong physical socket size.
Amazon product search feels not just bad but actively hostile, something I have to fight against to find the thing I actually want.
