When you go to their main search page your greeted with a sparse, Google-like look. It gives you a feeling that they’re confident in their search powers. Once you type in a specific product or product category, let’s use “running shoes”, you’re brought to a much denser, interactive page. On this page, you’ll find all the typical features to help you narrow your search: categories, departments and price controls. The distinguishing feature of this interactive page is the MyFinds bar at the bottom of the interactive search page. Here you can collect products you like or want to compare against future searches. It’s a great feature that should be replicated on other shopping search engines.
