I dont think LL asked us a feedback only to NOT read them as some comments are implying.
I do know these comments will be read. Please do understand that these changes arent "live" yet and there is room for improvement. In the light to ease up the negativity
I would suggest tackling simpler problems rather than taking shortcut solutions to a bigger problem as it seems in the current beta.
Start with these
Eliminate creator names and store names from search. If we want them searched we can put them in title or keywords.
Have a keywords section for merchant stores like youtube allows you to add a small number of keywords to your channel. For example if a store is called "Tony's Pottery house" Tony can add description to the store as (mesh pottery, sculpture etc.)
Keep tracking valuable data such as total units sold, price per unit sold, average monthly sales per item
Keep tracking user ratings but make it easier for users to leave feedback and not only this encourage users to leave feedback. If you bought anything on other ecom sites you know you are reminded to leave feedback. It only helps overall market. Right now it is so deeply buried that it is not intuitive at all.
The more people review items the less the chances of fraudulent or impartial reviews to dominate.
Take automated measures to prevent manipulation such as ip masking, click farming, proxying, fraudulent reviews. I know this cannot be perfectly achieved but something is better than nothing.

The above text pretty much sums it up.
I second the "keywords" field for an entire store as opposed to "name" of the store itself being factored into search. If we want our brand searched, we will add them as a keyword.
MP Beta is just too rough right now for me to have any specific comments. But in the unlikely event of these changes going live, as a creator I am not afraid to start over, Its life.. its business...it happens. #whomovedmycheese
