Search Patterns

 Finding other ways to get around Amazon's broken search abilities.

Its more than just the amount of Middle Aged Woman IKEA. So many have jumped on those two wheelhouses that it makes it nigh impossible to search through anything without bumping into these results. It wont stop the sponsored stuff but it will cut down some of the same stuff seen over and over.
