The new search function sucks
The search used to work fine but now it will only show you sellers on app and it’s really irritating.
New versions are getting worse
I’ve made nearly 100 purchases through Etsy. I used to love to find smaller businesses instead to buying from big box stores or Amazon. But lately, the search features are getting worse and worse. First they took away the option to search for items and shops in a certain state. Etsy claims to be all for sustainability and minimizing impact on the environment, but now I swear they push stores from out of the country. Today I tried searching for an item, NOT a store, and it only showed stores that MIGHT have what I was looking for. I want to continue to support small businesses (especially those in my state that I may not know about) but, unfortunately, this app is making it harder and harder

Recent update
The newest update is horrendous. When I search up an item it’s now only showing me whole shops and not the individual items. This can’t be changed in settings and really limits what you see. I also miss being able to change the app icon. Bring it back :(
Best place to buy
There jewels and clothes even accessories for car awesome
I’m done
I don’t know what happened but when I search for something now I’m getting shop results instead of individual items. If I see something I like, I will then look at the shop for more items but let me see the item I’m looking for first. I used to love shopping on Etsy but between permitting AI, multitude of sponsored results, and now showing shops instead of items, I’m over it. I’ll go back to shopping in person craft fairs.

Broken Search
Why am I getting only shops when I search for something and not individual items???? It makes it impossible to find anything I’m looking for. I looked online and apparently I’m one of the users who got an update of sorts to test this feature out (lucky me, I guess). I want to opt out ‘cause this is the worst thing but there’s no option to. Etsy is already borked enough with how much AI nonsense is infecting the site but this makes it frustrating on a level I never thought possible. I don’t think the web browser is like that so I’ll be using my computer for Etsy for as long as the search on the app is busted. Why make this the default, are you trying to get less people to use your app??? Because this is how you do it. Horrible idea.

Please end this search test!
Apparently Etsy is running a test wherein some of us, when searching for an item, are given results of shops that may sell the specific item for which we’re searching. So instead of a search results page of items, we have to visit each shop listed and search there to see if they have anything matching that criteria. A waste of time and not at all helpful! Please end this test and just do a better job of serving up items that meet search criteria!!

Horrible update
Whos the idiot who thought only showing shops when searching for items was a good idea? I cant find anything now. Will be deleting app.
Love shopping here
Love it
OT bundle
Really good communication, regarding what I need
Insufferable UI Tests
Consistently screws with the user interface making it nigh impossible to find anything you’re looking for. Renders the app basically unusable for days on end.
search is useless
I used to love etsy, but now I can’t even search properly because it just shows shops that sell what you searched, instead of the items. I hate it, especially because there was an option to search for shops!!! no one asked for this!
Wow!!
She is extremely detailed. I enjoy reading my results and seeing things unfold. I recommend her!
Wonderous Finds
A whole department store full of wonderful things that you may need, or may not. 😍
Yuh
Euhhhhh
Change it back
I love Etsy, I get a lot of my lanyards and teacher related stuff from there and my ideas for shirts, but the new layout when you search for something is aggravating. You type your search and it pulls up different sellers showing things they’re selling and as you scroll it continues that way, it’s not laid out like it was just recently where you search it and it gives you the regular listed style of items from Etsy sellers. If your Etsy has updated in the last couple of days, you’ll know what I’m talking about unless it’s just me, but it was like this before, it’s more complicated now. Please change it back!

App Sucks
New search method is horrible it’s hard to find anything I’m looking for!!!
New Search Engine is Useless
I love to crochet, and Etsy is my go-to place to find crochet patterns. They recently updated their search engine, so now when I type in a descriptor, the results show me shops and a highlight of their items. Some of the items are related to my search, but not all of them. It’s made hunting through results a nightmare!
I just saw a picture of a maple leaf crochet dragon on Facebook and went to Etsy to find the pattern. It wouldn’t show me anything near what I wanted, so I went to Google and searched the same thing. Not only did the exact dragon pattern pop up, but it was a link to ETSY. It was quicker for me to go out of this app to search than to use the app’s own search tool.
Add to that the absolute lack of regulation surrounding AI that’s presented as real, and I’ve just about had it with this app.

Lost all respect for Etsy
They allow sellers to peddle cheap Amazon and Temu products at a 5 to 10 times markup. I don’t trust anything on this site anymore.
Ruined A Great App
The newest update to the search feature is terrible. Decided to just delete the app because it defeats the purpose of being able to scroll products when your only shown sellers shops with 4 items partially pertaining to what your searched for.
