I do not understand why the big website made their search functions so much worse in recent years.
Today, I was looking for a spare part for my car. I know the exact part number. But if I search for that I get completely random results that have absolutely nothing to do with the search term I have entered. It used to be that you could at least put the important terms in quote marks, but that doesn't seem to work anymore either on several sites. #enshittification
