    Didn’t realize K-mart was even still in business.

        I shop at S-Mart for all my letter-based shopping needs. I shop smart, at S-Mart

        You’re buying K’s? I only buy vowels.

    Hopefully this means that when I search for Kmart items I’ll finally only get Australian results for things I can actually buy, rather than stupid Google search results offering USA results, even when I tell it that I’m in Australia where Kmart is alive and well with apparently 301 stores in the country.

    Here’s an example of me searching for “kmart sandles” on “google.com.au

    Search for "kmart sandles" on "google.com.au" and see USA results.

        Ever since it became about engagement rather than the right results, the writing was on the wall.

        Fortunately this means that there are significant opportunities for search competition. The only thing you need to do is give better results than Google.

        Just like all the search engines before Google, it too will become a footnote in the history of the internet.

          It’s true. Just ask Jeeves.

    Why the clickbait? Just put where it is in the title and save us a click

      Because they need site traffic ad views to pay the electric bill.

        I understand why the website did it, but not why op did it. Surely they don’t get a cut of their ad traffic?

    I was shocked when I found a legit s-mart in (the real) northern California, I’d always thought it was Sam Rami poking fun at k-mart. I haven’t been past that particular store in 15 years, but I wouldn’t be shocked at all to learn that it’s still going. And that it survived k-mart, it’s an interesting time we live in.

      There used to be an S-Mart in southern California too, but it closed down. It was a Korean supermarket similar to H-mart.
