| i click on the search bar,
i type in id number ,
i hit enter
- unfortunately my mouse arrow was below the search bar, so anything that is
associated in any way with that search term comes up & i am instantly redirected
to that other item instead of what i just typed in.. because my mouse arrow was
over top that thing
-- just because my mouse is hovering over something when i hit enter DOES
NOT MEAN i want to go to that thing

Yeah, the BL search function is not as user-friendly as it used to be. Now,
multiple clicks are required most of the time to get where you want to go. Before
it was "upgraded and improved" it worked much better and simpler.
One way to improve how the search box works is to put a BLANK SPACE before hitting
enter. That helps, but not always.
I know people that avoid using BrickLink completely because the search feature
is so troublesome and annoying to use. As a commerce website, this type of problem
costs all sellers potential revenue.
I am mostly annoyed that, when making inventory changes, the search box no longer
stays on the search inventory setting like it used to do. It takes far more
clicks than it should to go from one inventory item to another.
Also, I am annoyed that the ability to search for a specific order detail page
from the main search box has been removed. Now, it can only be done from the
Orders Received screen.
I don't know when the search function was "upgraded and improved," but it
certainly was NOT. It is a complete mess. I consider it broken and annoying.

I gave up using the top search bar long, long ago. Clicking once on 'Market'
puts you with a cursor ready on the Search Catalog Items bar. This is infinitely
superior to whatever the All Items search was supposed to be.

I guess I'm not the only one, that infuriates me and happens ALL THE TIME.
Ugh.
