Ah, so it's your search feature that is broken.


Just pushed a fix. Thanks for your patience.


Pushed a fix? He had a major critique of the way search works, not a minor bug report. What could you really have changed in such a short time?


I don't know but before criticizing, you could just give it a try. Now searching for "iPhone 4" suggests "Apple iPhone 4" and "Apple iPhone 4S".

If they fixed it in such a short time, it was probably a bug and they really pushed a fix...


No, we just work quickly :).


You should stop being so rude. It's hard to build something like this, especially when the input data is so noisy.


Rude? I thought I was doing them a favor. Initially I thought their system did not differentiate between specific models: that would majorly impact usefulness.

Then when he explained I realized it was just a broken search feature: a much easier thing to fix.

I hope most people here don't confuse matter of fact literalism with rudeness. This is HN after all and I'm offering free user feedback to a business, something most businesses greatly appreciate.
