Whatever happened to "tagging" items?

I'm a buffalo plaid nut, both in apparel and home. You can't type in buffalo plaid and get much of anything, yet wandering around I can find the occasional throw or top. Why can't they "tag" the items?

when i type in just the word plaid i see 559 items.

I agree the q website is not that search friendly.

But for this particular topic, buffalo is not a common word and thankfully an easy term to search. 161 items. Not that long to browse through them.

So what makes the q not search friendly is that when you plug in 2 words, you will get everything with each of the word, which can be unwieldy. In other words, it searches for "buffalo" or "plaid".

Search results for a search with 2 terms should, IMO, yield only items with BOTH words. In other words, it should search for "buffalo" AND "plaid". But that is not what it does.

When I did the "buffalo" search, i found a lot of "buffalo checks". So the other thing qvc does is its search does not substitute terms for equivalents, which google does. I am not going to task q with doing this, because they have so many much more necessary things to fix in the website.
