| 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. | |||
