| Does Froogle Understand Simple English? -

Hi, gang,
As a new Froogle user, I am dumbfounded by its utter stupidity! I am
looking for new places to buy used books and thought I would check it out
with Froogle. However, they do not have a clue as to what a book is. I
used as my search string the words BOOKS and USED and provided my zip
code. Of the first 50 sites listed, not one of them were for books.
Exactly 100% of them were car dealerships selling cars. After that, I did
not bother checking the next 50.
Does Froogle have a problem understanding simple English. After all,
there is quite a difference between the words "books" and "cars," you
know, no matter how subtle the people at Froogle think the difference is.
BTW, omitting the word "used" did give me a handful of book links -- among
a ton of links for cars (of course), DVD's and phone companies.
Froogle, get a brain! You need one desperately.
