How to view reviews?

Just registered and activated my epinions account. Where do you go to view the product reviews? I type my query into search box and find ad's, no reviews. I see no tab for reviews ... read or write. What am I missing?
Thanks.

It's weird, I know, but the search tool on Epinions is terrible at finding reviews. Even worse for those of us who enjoy writing reviews is that the search tool is worthless at finding products that can be reviewed. The good news is that Epinions has told us that this is being fixed and we are hoping it will improve in the next couple of months. It has been a l-o-n-g wait, though.

In the meantime, I recommend that you search for products on Epinions using Google or Yahoo. Use the following search syntax:

{name of product} site:epinions.com

For example:

willy and the poorboys site:epinions.com

That will call up reviews on Epinions for Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1960s album, Willy and the Poorboys. This search technique generally works MUCH better than using Epinions' own search tool.

Hope that helps... and welcome to Epinions!
