Inaccurate Search on Spyderco Website
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2022 12:31 am
OK, this isn't so much of a forum issue as a Spyderco.com issue:
When searching for a particular model of a knife at Spyderco.com, I've noticed the search box is seriously unintelligent.
Just One Example:
Search for "Stretch K390" and you get "No Results Found for Products."
Enter "Stretch", sort through 7 results (2 of which are not Stretch) and there is the K390 Stretch.
Enter "Stretch 2" and you get 8 results (with several of the results being different than searching "Stretch.")
Enter "Stretch FRN" and you get nothing.
Enter "Stretch Lightweight" and you get one discontinued result (but misses the Stretch 2 XL LW).
Enter "Stretch XL" and you get nothing (though "Stretch 2 XL" gets 2 hits).
Above results are very similar with other searches...the search routine "can't even." It's as if search words have to very closely match the title given on a particular page, or the search gets seriously confused. What's up with that? How can a search box in 2020 be so...clueless?
