When im looking for shoes I like to know that im not missing out on any, Im also open to considering styles that i wouldn't normally go for. I start by selecting a category of shoe and then painstakingly look though each and every image. I never sway from this kind of search and if a site doesn't work in this way for me im likely to leave it. I do think this search would work if you were searching for something definite like say tiles, wall paper or bricks that you already have a theme for but even then the customer can't be sure they have seen everything on offer and that can be frustrating.

If the tool is good, I'll certainly use it at Zappos because their word search tool doesn't always capture all the shoes that fall into the correct categories.

I also liked the winnowing tool on this site. As you refine your search by price range, discount level, color, etc., it gives you a running total of how many products match all your criteria.

Real shoppers don't actually use them. In fact they are just confused by them. Is it cool? Very, but in my opinion its a waste of time. Features like this are just novelty.

Probably just added a style tag for each look and feel. I wonder how they have tagged each product. Probably just added a style tag for each look and feel.
