Amazon hides the thing you want behind the items they want you to buy instead, and they allow fakes and spammers to flourish. They never have the right aspects in their search filters, either. Looks like Google is the same way. I can&amp;#x27;t find an A19 LED light bulb with 2700K color temperature and CRI 90 or better. I&amp;#x27;m going to have a much better experience in an actual store.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>mrweasel</author><text>They may have changed it, but a few years back I did product feeds to Amazon and had to read the documentation. Basically Amazon will only search the title of the product page, nothing else.&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s why the title of the products are stupid long with everything crammed in. But yeah, you can find anything on Amazon, the site is basically broken unless you know the exact thing you want, brand, name and all.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s not even that good at searching books anymore.</text></comment>
