To: Right Wing Assault
The query string "Christmas" was associated with the category "Holiday" because most Christmas items live in Holiday and most Holiday items are related to Christmas. It doesn't make sense for them to associate Kwanzaa with Holiday, since most results in Holday are not related to Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa has not been associated in the site administration (from what I gather this is a manual association) because redirecting Kwanzaa to Holiday is foolish: you will get LESS useful results. By associating Christmas with the category Holiday, you get all Holiday items that might not have Christmas in the name or description.

plus if you click on the link that says "View a list of items that match your search for "Christmas"." which is under the header: 'holiday' page search...it takes you to 7970 items for "Christmas"
i agree with you this is just an organizational tool

OMGoodness.......sanity in the face of idiocy - you are not permitted to do such on a WalMart bashing thread. (/sarc)
Excellent point.
