That’s becoming increasingly more difficult though. Search engines (especially Google) have their top results polluted with links back to Amazon or sketchy sites, reviews etc
The actual products in Amazon - and now pretty much everyone with an online store - heavily mixed with 3rd-party Chinesium products with names generated by room full of cats and keyboards, and then further obfuscated by what their algorithm actually wants you to see, often to the point where it completely disregards your actual search terms.
It’s not mindlessly clicking. Your could literally spend hours trying to find the thing you need but only seeing the thing they want to sell you.
