REI is not coming up in search

[#1]

Searching for REI on Etsy brings up zero listings and it defaults to rey. 

Why there are plenty of REI items on Etsy

Search is a joke

I used "REI" pants and came up with plenty of vintage REI pants.

>> The only way I found them is as I said going to google and putting in "REI sweater Etsy". You can believe me or not but Search is absolutely broken for me, 

why spend company resources on in-platform search, when sales from a google search generate 12-15% Offside Ads Fees

ha ha 

good point

I guess I won't worry about it 

no one else seems to be worried

Incompetence is the norm now Mediocre is the now

@wyogems --

I put REI into your shop search box and found your large brown space sweater. 

Then I put REI into the Etsy main search box and it got auto changed to RETRO (silly Etsy!).

Tried REI again and it auto changed to REI Men's Clothing.

Tried REI again with a space afterwards and got a lot more results. 

Keep trying REI in search ... the more often a particular word is entered, the more Etsy knows what you are looking for, and will either actually find it or suggest similar type items!

Yea its a crap shoot at best. Etsy search sucks.

I wonder if the more we search for it, the it will produce. I've had Etsy change my search terms and didn't realize they did it for several minutes. So irritating.
