When more is less: Amazon.com

Amazon.com: All Products Search Results: 1000 places to see before you die
Amazon now does full text searching. This is a "feature", it took a lot of work to add this.

It's also stupid.

Anyone who's ever done full text searching can tell you that, without a lot of smart tuning, it returns junk. Amazon hasn't doen the tuning.

Google would never have screwed up like this.
