Actually this is all about Amazon.

Apparently in some countries users are going to straight to Amazon for their shopping searches and bypassing Google entirely.

Isn't that a general thing? I hate the quality of Amazon's internal search, but Google's results for shopping related queries are just atrocious in my country. There's barely-related Amazon-Products on the top 5 places, SEO spam on the next 10, a few shops on pages 2/3 and then scam shops.
