Yup. Same matches when I search 'lego train'. (75 hits, the 4th was a glass
prism, about halfway down was some salad plates and a CD... didn't check
beyond that)
It's not just the general search that's broken either, the international
search is returning the same sort of random junk mixed in with the actual hits
as well. The ratio seems to be about 1 in 15 or 20 that's out to lunch.
My search produced about 150 hits less today than yesteday as well. Taken
along with the mis-matches, it seems like the search is also missing good hits
as well as adding bad ones.
