Now on to the rest of the problems with Amazon's web site. Do a search on "canned shrimp" and then select "Sort by: Avg. Customer Review". I see seven pages of results, none of which include any canned shrimp even though it is obvious they sell canned shrimp from the page before you sort by customer reviews.

Also, since any search now includes randomly added items, when you sort by customer reviews all the higher rated things that do not match your search are listed first. The items you are actually interested in may not show up until several pages later. You also cannot sort by customer review AND number of reviews.

The Amazon search engine is seriously broken and seems to keep getting worse in my experience.
