This is probably an old (recurring) problem:
the search function in my account (the games - not the orders - those are another story) is botched.

I just looked up he game "Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition", when I noticed that - if I enter "ano", "anot", "anoth", "anothe" or "another " into the search mask - it shows me the game on my shelf.

But if I enter "another w" into the search mask, it shows me the "No results found" - message.

However, if I enter "another wo", "...wor", "...worl" or "...world" into the mask - it shows me the game again.

That's a strange phenomenon.

Yes. I call it "the single letter bug". It's been there for years.

I wouldn't exactly call it a bug. If the search is for each word, not only for the full phrase, then a single letter (and I'd say also two) should be ignored, it's likely to return too many irrelevant results otherwise.
Granted, it should just ignore that letter and not also the full word(s), so it shouldn't display no results, but still.
Does anyone eIse have a problem with gift orders currently? I cannot complete a the gift order that I am making. I have given gifts in the past, the most recent being in the beginning of last month, so it should not be that I am not eligible for gifting. I tried to pay with wallet funds. I tried buying a game ordinarily, and that worked, so there is something specifically with gifting. The green "Complete your order bar" in the checkout area just loads and then it interrupts itself.

Gift order worked perfectly well for me about 1 hour back. I did pay with paypal and not wallet funds. No hiccups or weird stuff happening during checkout here

Thank you so much. I tried ordering again but with Paypal this time and it worked out perfectly.

Same thing is happening to me now. Tried in two different browsers to no avail. Guess I'll try again tomorrow, maybe they'll fix it by then. :/
Maybe it is tied to the same system as receiving a gift code. So as long as amazon is pumping out codes, it may be wonky for awhile.
Just to let those interested know: Buying with wallet funds worked for me a couple minutes ago.
Er, nevermind it is working for me now too :).

Also, I noticed that I was able to get three gift copies so I guess they upped the daily limit temporarily to make up for the lost days.
