Just the other day I dealt with this issue looking for usb 3.2 hubs, specifically powered hubs, which I kept in quotes that evidently were not respected. I was getting mostly usb 3.0 even some usb 2.0. A few usb 3.2 but not all like you’d think a quote should work for search. Also all over the place powered vs unpowered hub

I searched “powered usb 3.2 hub” (no quote) and got this as the #1 result, also labeled the “Overall Pick” and “Amazons Choice”: https://www.amazon.com/Rosonway-Individual-Switches-Aluminum...

Following that, in order, were the following:

https://www.amazon.com/Powered-LEINSIS-Individual-Switches-A...

https://www.amazon.com/RSHTECH-Individual-Switches-Splitter-...

https://www.amazon.com/ikuai-Charging-Aluminum-Splitter-Incl...

https://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-UH720-7-Port-Smart-Charging/d... (USB 3.0)

https://www.amazon.com/Rosonway-Charging-Aluminum-Splitter-R...

Am I missing something or do all but one of those do exactly what you want?

Well, they give different results for different users at different times. For me performing it just now on mobile, of the first 10 results, only 4 were usb 3.2. Most of the less relevant results were the sponsored results amazon inserts all over the place these days.

No, I didn't try it first.

I just made it up as an example of something that I had failed at in the past, on the basis that this kind of technical specificity has generally lead to daunting results in the past.

Finding specific things has generally been a frustrating mess for me on Amazon.

But I did try it just now: I searched for "ring terminals 12 #10" and got a long list of stuff that is actually worth considering.

WTF?

This is good and welcome, but it was certainly unexpected.

Perhaps their search engine has improved for some of this kind of thing.

Search on what you actually said: "insulated crimp terminals ring terminals that work on #10 screws and 12 AWG wire"

That gets a much better result.

i ise ublock origin, but I too suffer from abysmal search results on Amazon. Im sure their AI has decided ill just buy all the junk after i give up on finding what I actually looked for.

Ive also noticed lower prices for the same items if ive recently searched on walmart or target recently too…
