The crazy thing is they fill the feed with ads in between the p2p stuff so they should be making money, and those ads would be much more relevant since they know a user’s search terms (so higher rates per ad), but then they just make the user experience of searching suck.

I’d say the entire Facebook UX sucks. If I didn’t know better I’d think it was a startup with inexperienced designers. Shocking how complicated and lazy it feels.
