The following is an attempt to index a part of
Amazon.com. As Amazon.com is expanding rapidly, it is no easy task. If the
visitor has suggestions or recommendations, please click
Comments. Hopefully, what has been done will greatly aid
the visitor in his/her shopping experience. Also, please tell all of your friends
about the shopping section on Auto on Info. Thank you. |

Some comments: The following search
results are generally good; however, if there are no longer items in the
category, Amazon.com automatically redirects the visitor to a related query
phrase. This should happen only very rarely. Some search phrases including
"men's" or "women's" bring results for both. Some search
phrases have been adjusted to improve results. Some houses or merchants are
omitted in some categories, because the Amazon.com search box has limits on
the size of search entries. With regard to women's clothing, some searches
are hampered by words with multiple or too expansive meanings. Also, once a link is clicked and an Amazon.com page appears, the listing is by
"Bestselling." To identify sales,
click the arrow on the "Sort by:" menu box and then click "On Sale"
on the
menu. Price reductions on clearance items can be dramatic; introductory
sales by newly affiliated merchants are occasionally 50%, but with quantity
restrictions. The "Sort by:" menu box is valuable when results span several
pages. Lastly, for larger selections, each results page includes, in the
column on the left, an index by price (as well as other indices). As more
exclusive items often do not appear in the results pages, to view such click
the applicable price range. However, for very exclusive items (in the tens
of thousands of dollars), an applicable price range may not appear, and to
view these, site manager recommends selecting the highest price range and
then be clever. |
