Amazon and Ebay showed us all the way, failed incoming search queries has got to be handled in a way to keep your customer around. But what do you do when you are too big to have any talented programmers and have too much overload in your corporate bureaucracy that you can't get anything done.

You find a way to make money from not fixing your search engine. That's what the Guinness world record website has done. Apparently so, I tried searching for several keywords: "No matching records found" is all I got as an answer.

guinness world record.com broken search

use your cellphone, text this number to receive paid spam until you spend hours with your cellphone company to get rid of these. is it me or this is looking REAL bad.
