I have just reviewed my list of 13 suggestions

All of them were recommendations to add item specifics (which are filled in correctly)  to the title as well. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't this new search engine supposed to be smart enough to incorporate item specifics into the logic and return related results?

Now sometimes I realize it is a good idea to do just that - however, this new suggestion engine hass me wondering if they have backed off some of the "smart" logic that was returning all kinds of craziness. And to compensate, perhaps they are trying to tell us to re-inject some wording that we had cut out of titles when they told us to shorten them?

One or two suggestions were helpful (ex.: I have the word "lavender" in the title and it suggested to add the word "purple". In the old days I would have done that anyway...

But most of the suggestions were stupid ones. I have drapery panels with exact size in the title "50 x 84," but it suggests I use item specific, which is a range of inches (40" - 61"). Now who is going to search on a random eBay-determined value?

I swear the executives have no clue that software developers cannot solve world peace. And it annoys me that they throw these random changes at us without saying anything, hoping we won't see through it. We are constantly trying to adjust to software changes, and then to the fixes, and then to the new things that the fixes broke. Could we just please have the old search back? It was fine with me.
