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? smile.gif

Doesn't seem to do it for me blink.gif

huh.gif OK, it isn't for me now.... weirdness.... wacko.gif it was before, honest guv....
Trebor
Is this not the result for searching for "romanze"?

EDIT: well, if you're gonna change your mind blink.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!!

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.

Like Flutes and Clarinets!!! Just looked you can get EVERTHING on the Ameriacan one!

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"
