boatshop24.com - what a disaster!

[Whitelighter]

www.boatshop24.com used to be a good site for finding your next boat: europe wide, allowed adverts from private sellers as well as dealers (unlike yachtworld) and usually had lots of any one model with a decent (if a bit limited) search funtion.

Well once again for some reason they have felt the need to let the office work experience kid have a go at redesigning it and now its less than useless.

Searched for 'Azimut' in the dialogue box and it returned results for everything (over 8,000 of the blooming things).

Clicked advanced search and selected Azimut from the drop down list of manufacturers and it returned 3 results for Abuno Yachts. Assumed Id made the mistake so tried again with the same results.

Tried searching for Fairline Phantom 46 and it just returned every Fairline on their books, starting with a sprint 21.

Why oh why do these website let thier design staff ruin them????

At least one site(boatshed)seems to have improved their search system.

Seems when they changed to the new interface/theme/system/database they lost just about all the searchable details on the listings so if you enter lengths or prices or just about anything really the results you get back are useless.. What's really surprising is that its been like that for over a week and it doesn't seem like they have noticed..
