For me, it's not a matter of not finding what I need to find, it's that Google has gotten so good at finding pages within websites that rather than going to Amazon and searching using their tool, I search "blue widget amazon" and get a result right to the product page.

It's glorious. …”10-percent gain in search queries per searcher.”
