Ask HN: Why hasn't anyone fixed product search yet?
Every solution I've seen either:
1. Replicates Google's ad-driven model (but worse)
2. Claims 'AI' but acts as a black box
Yet we all waste hours daily on:
- Decoding fake reviews - Reverse-engineering SEO-optimized 'best of' lists - Cross-referencing Reddit threads from 2018
Serious question: What would it take to build a truly user-aligned product search engine?
Technical constraints? Business model dilemmas? Or is it just a hard problem nobody wants to solve right?
