Because customers don't need to easily filter away some stuff from their searches (programming.dev)

The category filters of electronics distributors used to be good (some still are). But then they started letting business people categorize the products, and now finding stuff without having a part number is basically a lottery.

hell, even with a part number, you still have to sort through a bunch of irrelevant stuff. I swear they must just "select all" when assigning tags to phone cases and stuff.

Fuck phone cases and bad search. I just got the Sony Xperia 10 V. The whole Sony Line is just changing the number to 1, 5, or 10, and the Roman numeral from I to V (and growing).

Good luck finding anything. It literally took me hours (including advanced Google Fu) to find out that the style of case I want doesn't exist for my model. (But the 10 IV has it.)

Is there a site that categorizes cases by exact model? I feel like it shouldn't be this hard.
