Change in how Amazon displays Search results

[Lianne]

Has anyone else noticed that an Amazon search now brings up other books related, not by words in the title, but by subject matter or category? Am I just out of it, or is this new? That means when your book comes up, it will also offer the searcher a number of other titles on your subject.

Last week, while trying to get my new title settled into Amazon, every time I searched, the site brought up items (some not even books) that related to the words in my title. This week, it brings up books that Amazon believes are similar in content or at least category. !! That's in addition to changing how their sales pages look. What do you all think of these changes?

I have noticed this. Not only does it recommend other books for books you've purchased but if you've written a book it tells you and recommends books similar o yours. Some are even remotely related or interesting to content I enjoy but I still will peek a glance at some. Probably Amazons way of reaching out and helping.
