Ask HN: Are you happy with product search?
2 points by ComNik on June 29, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
While trying to buy a new phone online, I suddenly realized how much I dislike product search.

I'll get autocomplete and recommendations, and I'll most certainly end up with a nice list of products to choose from, but I find it very hard to make a final decision without reading through pages of reviews, google for more information or check youtube for hands-on footage.

So, I thought I'd ask what the HN community thinks about product search.

Thank you for your thoughts (:



I go through similar trials when choosing electronic devices. Its especially bad if the item is new on the market.. One thing that you didnt mention are friends' input. If I get a good review from a friend who I trust about the subject, that can help me decide. And that is something that hasn't been covered well online...
