Apparently for some people (my mom) the search or filters work better on Temu. No idea why, I only ever use AliExpress.

Alis search is really bad.
Somehow the auto translation is active for the product names but if you search they don't seem to apply.
For example:
Searching for Cherry MX switches brings up articles that are named "Mechanische Kirsch Schalter für Tastatur" (essentially the name but translated). Problem is: Cherry the company is like it's in english as well, also the fruit amd thus will not be translated correctly.
Trying to search more niche stuff quickly gets annoying when trying to find something specific.

Ok, that's fair. I just use the english terms anyways and usually also change the interface language to english.
