MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- TheFind, Inc. (http://www.thefind.com/) today launched "Find Similar Items," a tool that provides further personalization to the daunting task of searching the Internet for products. The new feature gives users the power to easily discover items that are similar to products they've already found which match their personal style and taste. There's no longer a need to visit multiple sites or type multiple keywords, and the product results can be viewed side-by-side in an organized fashion.
"TheFind.com always listens to its customers when building new features, and our customers like to shop efficiently," said Siva Kumar, co-founder and CEO of TheFind.com. "'Find Similar Items' was born out of the need for shoppers to quickly hone in on products they like, without having to continuously devise new and creative ways to describe products using complex search terms. We are giving shoppers the power to shop the entire Web while simultaneously narrowing in on products that suit each shopper's personal taste and style."
The "Find Similar Items" feature will help shoppers quickly sift through the more than 500,000 stores and 150 million products indexed by TheFind.com. For example, the search term "women's pumps" returns over 77,000 women's pumps. Using the new feature, a shopper in the market for "platform peep-toe pumps" simply clicks on the "Find Similar Items" button next to a favored search result, and TheFind.com returns just over 6,000 similarly-styled shoes. The corresponding lists of top brands and top styles also adjust accordingly. "Find Similar Items" gives shoppers the ability to quickly refine their search results and enjoy the discovery process of shopping for lifestyle goods such as home and garden, apparel, accessories, and children's products.
