How Not to do Search

February 4th, 2008

FutureShop has a great search feature. When you enter a search string that has no results they helpfully suggest you try searching again, however, they don’t present a search box nor even a link to get back to the search page. Maybe the search functionality on their site is server intensive and so want to prevent the low IQ crowd from entering too many difficult searches?

    Low IQ Crowd: Where do I remember that from? Very familiar. Something also tells me I should be careful about digging up the past.

    I don’t get it.
