amazon.com search engine now pants?

I am so used to going to [www.amazon.com] and typing the name of an author into the search box, and getting a list of publications with a best-fit match for the name, that I verge upon being offended by the fact that I just tried that with Darryl Huff Lie Statistics – yielding 263 results.

It seems that the search engine is giving priority to book content rather than book titles, which I am sure would cause some of my Conceptual Indexing colleagues to “have kittens”.

    <p><p> – true, but they’d also be <ol> <li> “birthing small cats” <li> “obtaining tiny felines” <li> “owning mini cat-like animals” </ol> <p> – Our advanced search technology is really impressive and doesn’t get the attention it deserves imho <tt>:-></tt> </p>
