Search results, are filters completely broken ?

Just browsing with the filters "vintage" and "sale/promotion" on the first page, I got 16 results from the same hand-made shop (embroidery on shoes) The shop owner has done nothing wrong, she's used the hand-made category and none of her tags refer to vintage. None of these results were from paying ads. I had never seen this shop before, so it's not something I'm shown because of favorites. Even though her shop had been a vintage store, with so many of us struggling for visibility on the plateform, how come one single shop can be shown 16 times on the first page ???

Search now uses AI, and no one can find anything. They don't intend to "fix" it.

What was your search?  And did you use the filter after using the textbox or trying with categories?

@ArtDollsbyJD I was just trying to browse, within the "promo" thing (next to Easter finds and home decor) and added a filter for vintage. No text in the search bar.
