Why woot doesn't have a search feature?

NOT having a search function is incredibly stupid. There’s 184 pages of deals.

Ah, but the other discoveries I make when I’m on the hunt for something! :grinning::thinking::heart_eyes::smirk::shushing_face::blush::scream::heart:

Just go to the home page, sort by “new” and look through the new stuff once a day - only a couple pages to look through most days, and you might find things you didn’t even remember you needed!

Woot should just sell one item a day. Much easier to search.

And, they have search on their forums! Absurd!

It came WITH the forums. Had we developed the forums, a) they wouldn’t be done yet and b) they wouldn’t have search.

As I recall, the old forums was built upon beta product from a company that ended up ceasing to exist, and that it only managed to keep running because of workarounds and patches duct tape.

After learning about the whole searching-thing, I decided to continue to live on eBay. Woot!

It doesn’t get good until you learn how to game eBay search…

Good luck!

That is a horrible excuse not to build a search feature. So what if SOME TIMES not half the times the search is empty we just keep trying… its better than doom scrolling an unlimited list.

Its a good thing that someone else thought it was a good idea as there is now WootSearch
