Amazon BSR Ranking Question

When you guys look at Amazon BSR; do you pay attention to the overall Kindle Store ranking or am I supposed to use another?

I'm new to writing and I'm in my initial research phase, using the guide from the FAQ. Also, using the browser extensions and reading newer comments, I type broad keywords in that I know have traction, then set it for the past 30 days, but I am met with lots of bad results, downright #s that tell me that the content just has no sales even.

I have to type a broad word like "BDSM" to return anything with great Kindle Store overall BSR.

What could I be doing wrong?

Edit: I am using the .com USA domain

Edit 2: So turns out the default Amazon filters they provide on their website are causing this. I used the Kindle Power Search tool and it seems the links generated there work just fine and give much better results.
