Get another way to search on the shopping merchants? I was wondering if we could sort by % back at all? Maybe that's a no-no, but just thought I'd ask. Sometimes this would come in mighty handy...

Just curious
Thanks

The search function did not like me at all tonight.
I know Target sells what I'm looking for, but I wanted to see if anyone else had it. I typed it in many different ways including the advanced search options with + or " and it wouldn't bring it up. THe only way it did was if I left them off then of course bedding gives me animal bedding, baby bedding etc.
After 5 pages I gave up and started searching individual merchants.

I know this is getting OT from what Jen was asking, but I too find the product search not too helpful at times. It may have worked when there were not so many merchants, but it really needs a way to narrow your searches. Even if you could get a list of merchants that come up and then we could narrow it down from there would be more helpful. I tend to use google and look for SR merchants that come up and then go to the merchant site to search.

It's almost never helpful for me either...it comes up with too many pages that have nothing to do with what you searched for? It's easier for me to narrow it down by store category and then search the individual stores. Maybe I'm searching all wrong and there is an easier way, any suggestions welcome! :D

I think what Jen was asking for was just a list of merchants in order of % back. That way if we are looking for a generic gift (teacher, secretary etc) we will look for the highest percent back. That was my thought at least!

Maybe the search button can be a different thread...I don't want SG to miss this one. Hi Sunshine Guy...look over here at our suggestion!! :thanks:

Yes, this is what I was talking about. Sorry if I was unclear.

I agree that would be a great function Jen. Sorry I went off topic, but your post came right after I was trying to use it for something else!
