Great point, Adam.  Recently, I’ve been thinking about the possibilities of Amazon integrating FB Connect—this would be a good step in that direction.  More about you, and what you’ve purchased, and your friends, and what their purchasing histories.

Hmm… I hadn’t thought about the social aspect!  In that direction, Amazon could give you the option to share your wishlist with friends, so that when you were struggling to figure out what to buy them for their birthday, voila :D

That’s Amazon for you Adam! With any luck someone from Amazon will read your post and get to work on it!

I’ve never even thought about that - it would be a good feature to have.  Why don’t you start some kind of “drive” to have them do that?

Hi Adam, you should have an email confirmation for each Amazon order, right? So you could search your emails for [Amazon pillow] or the like.

This is definitely something you should communicate with Amazon! I experienced the exact same issues and searching through your e-mail like Florian suggesteds here isn’t really that user friendly. And adding the social aspect (sharing lists with each other) seems to be great. Maybe Amazon can get people to spread their lists via Twitter having other to buy the same products (“Look at my bizar christmas wish list”) this could end up in a lot more sales for Amazon.

I didn’t quite believe it, at first. So I logged into my Amazon account to check it out. You are right - there is no search box for previous orders. There is only a drop down list for you to choose to browse your previous orders by year. In my case, this didn’t even work. None of my previous book orders/purchases showed up!

Waoh! quite funny to me. I thought you were the only person experiencing this. I logged into my Amazon account too, and found out the same in my account too.

I just can’t seem to find search box for previous orders. Interesting enough. I don’t know why amazon is doing this anyway.

That goes to say that a lot of people/companies are selling through Amazon. I guess you really have to be more specific with your search to be able to find what you’re looking for.

You beat me to it, Adam. I was going to point out that sometimes the item goes out of market and is no longer sold. But you’re point was well made regarding being able to look up items one has bought in the past using Aamazon’s system. I like using Amazon also. Best of luck with this in the future.
