Amazon.com Classical Search Engine

Does anyone know what is going on with the Amazon.com classical search engine? I used to think it was not very good (there was a lot of stuff you couldn't find directly, even though it was in the Amazon.com database; you had to search it out circuitously and indirectly). But now they've got a new search engine that is absolutely AWFUL--just unbelievably STUPID! You won't believe how bad it is until you try it. I buy a lot of classical CDs (mostly used) on Amazon.com, mostly from Amazon.com marketplace sellers. But now it's almost impossible to find anything there. Is there no hope?

I've been doing classical music research on amazon for 3 yrs now. Lets say I'm looking for a listing I have on vinyl and hope to find it on cd.
I type in Ravel/Oistrakh.
And sure enough, shows a new listing of the Ravel and Rachmaninov trios as played by the legendary Oistrakh Trio.
Schnittke/Polyansky, brings up all of Polyansky's recordings in the great Schnittke.
I've had no issues with the engine.
