Search Results on Auction Side a MESS

I've dropped by the Forum here the last few times I've seen another change (decline) in the search results -- nothing ever gets fixed. Now, it's really gone "over the top" to become a new mess.
It seems the system is now throwing in completely unrelated listings to one's search-term. It looks like there is some attempt to be using a user's previous search history to show them things the system "thinks" the person will want to see -- all it's doing is giving TOO MANY results -- which means I cannot see what I WANT to see.
I KNOW what I'm looking for. The idiot programmers do NOT have a better understanding of what I want to see; having the system set up to ignore the search-terms I type is getting ridiculous!

The result is the same: TOO MANY results; I don't get why programmers cannot understand "quality over quantity" when it comes to search, or why they think ignoring the user is a "good" practice.
