Amazon searches are so bogus..... for example

I'll be searching for something as simple as a cotton top or cotton tee shirt. Most of the results are not cotton . If you read the description it'll say polyester or nylon or whatever. So why do these non-cotton items show up? I know a lot of results are sponsored... they pay for their product to come up on top.

I've typed in 100% cotton.... even gone into the filter and choose cotton there... you still get lousy results. I don't know why an algorithm would do that.

Better luck just searching Google for cotton tops.
