What is the matter with these people?
When I enter that I want to see badges (plural–I will only buy a bunch of them in a lot) it brings me to 400 listings that use the word singularly.
I have to enter badges -badge to even see what I am searching for.

And when I say Edsel tail light, it shows me Toyota tail lights, and Chevrolet tail lights, and Edsel carpet.
Hello, you big, dumb adding machine, I am not so stupid that I think a Toyota and an Edsel share parts. And if I want to see tail lights, I will NOT be buying carpet.

Because it is done by computer, the “best match” is usually the worst match.

But what do I care?
Come May 20 2008, I will be gone.
They can only insult my intelligence, and offend me for so long. After that, I don’t take it any more.
Their brave new big box retail plan won’t have any matches for me, so why should I even bother to look at it after their plan goes into full effect?

Pat,
Good point about the glitch. However, I think the time portion of Best Match algorithm score is calculated using time remaining. So I don’t think this glitch will affect your rankings. I’d be interested in seeing if my opinion is correct or not.
