This is a trainwreck. I just tested on Amazon France.

Typing "brain cancer" (in plain english) yielded the same thing as your screenshot, expect there was an actual book about overcoming the chemo once cured.

Typing "cancer du cerveau" (en français dans le texte, literal translation of brain cancer) is even more a dumpster fire than what you describe, it's appalling... Here are the results in actual order:

  1. A notebook, same as yours
  2. An actual book (yay!) about breast cancer (how?!?)
  3. A Yuka guide book about healthy food
  4. A book about "the new happiness formula", positive thinking etc...
  5. 50 habits of successful people, how to automate your career (now I'm confused)
  6. Healthy eating shit
  7. Confidence boost guide
  8. Story of a cop that had blood cancer
  9. Digestive system guide
  10. Anxiety and stress guide
  11. Miracles of taking a cold shower against procrastination (you're just messing with me, right?)
  12. Alt-medicine crap
  13. Positive thinking book
  14. Biohacking neuroscience to combat distraction (I swear I'm not making this up)
  15. Anticancer (actual title)
What can I say... At least I got mostly books in the books section?


Could at least a few of these be the results for “brain” or “cancer” as separate terms? Does Amazon have phrase searching, so you can actually search for “brain cancer”?
