'zonSearch, because Amazon sucks
Tuesday 07 January 2003 at 2:10 pmI used to use CDNOW to find music, and Amazon to buy it. Then Amazon bought CDNOW, and their search engine is gone. Pisses me off. Now if I want to find a track on some CD, I have to use Amazon’s search. And it SUCKS! Basically they decided to grab anything with some of the words you entered and return them in alphabetical order. What if I’m searching for the REM song Superman? 612 results, 10 (or 25 if you are smart) per page, it’s like page 47 before you get to the song title Superman, because there are so many bad results before it! At least at CDNOW you got real RELEVANT results first.
Well, I wrote this program last night for myself and whomever else wants it. It’s called ‘zonSearch. We’ll see how long before I get a Cease and Desist…hehehe.
