Argh. Amazon seem to have introduced a spellchecker into their search engine. All very well, till one wants to search for "rom" to catch "romance" and "romanze", only to have it "corrected" to "from"(!) or indeed when one wants to search for "romanze" only to find it is corrected to romance...........
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

That's really very annoying - try emailing them? And giving an example? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I dunno what happened there. It was definitely spellchecking me just now and then it has stopped. I ended up on a more modern-looking version of amazon but now I can't find it. Though I am NOT complaining that I can't.... old one is better!!

QUOTE(Boo Radley @ Jun 20 2006, 12:36 AM)  I was on the UK one - I have used both and I know what they look like/how they work. Nicia - you can do (I have in the past) obviously postage is more and you need a credit card, but there are things available from it that one cannot order from amazon.co.uk. |

I wanted to search for K 261, and it just kept changing it to 21. No matter what I put in the search all I got was Mozart's Symphony no 21. Grrr. Eventually I had to search on "adagio in E major violin"
