Yes, according to this[0] you're right.

Anyways, the point still stands - for a company that also has/operates a search engine, the results one gets when entering a search-term on Amazon.com are comically bad - to the point i really wonder if they even try.

The results could only be worse if they won't return any results at all.

But, i suppose, it'd be bad for their bottomline if they'd only show you what you've searched for and not return hundreds of products which supposed brand-names oftentimes is alike to $BARELYRECOGNIZABLEENGLISHWORDS

Or maybe your goals are misaligned with Amazon's, wrt/ product search.
