Results Not Showing or Unrelated Reults for Searches of Items that Exist

178 115 November 21, 2025 at 11:59 PM
I've noticed for awhile that I'll get a deal alert email for an item, but when I go to manually search for it, I either get no results or completely unrelated items. Example below.

Item: XTRA Muse
* Deal: https://slickdeals.net/f/18841759-amazon-xtra-muse-vlogging-1-inch-sensor-camera-419
* Deal alert showed up for it.
* Thread is still alive via that link, so it doesn't appear to be one that was deleted.

However these manual searches gave unrelated results:
  • xtra
  • "xtra"
  • muse
  • "muse"
  • xtra muse
And these manual searches gave nothing:
  • "xtra muse" : no results
  • "xtra" "muse" : no results
Additionally:
  • Variations on capitalization don't seem to matter, i.e. it's not case sensitive.
  • I've *not* enabled any other search criteria, nor options, nor filters, rather I only entered the search criteria as listed above.
  • A lot of the way I used to search on Slickdeals don't seem to work anymore, or work differently than previous. I think the trouble is that things seem to be broken or they've changed, but I'm unaware of what the new syntax is such that useful and accurate results can be returned. To be honest, I'm doubtful that all of my deal alerts properly work anymore either.

Is the above such a thing that is a known issue with a fix in the works? Will it be ready before Black Friday?

Thanks in advance and feedback for your help.
