I'm having problems again, I just looked on Amazon for history books on Cleopatra and got pages and pages of childrens novel, why? It's so frustrating! It's actually making me less likely to look for things as I so rarely get what I've asked for, I supose it makes a change from air fryers, but even so.

  • What did you type?

    I just went to Amazon.co.uk andd typed "books history Cleopatra" in the search bar at the top centre of the page and got what you'd expect.

    First option for me is Dominic Sandbrook's Adventures in Time: Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. £8.09, paperback.

    If you type the same three words and get something hugely different then it must be referencing cookies or your personal search history in some way. If you are not signed in, it should show the status to the right of the search bar, then I guess it is likely using the cookies
