Can someone explain the Zazzle search engine to me? For example, if I put in "Bigfoot hide and seek" into the search box at the top of the page, I get results with four pictures. But when I look in the left column, there are many more gifts abailable' like an iPhone cover. But they are not accessible unless you know to look on the left hand text. Most people will not look any farther than what is displayed in the pictures. So why don't all the products show up in the search at once as pictures?. I think this would greatly help people find what they are looking for!

When you hover over a product it will tell you "see on 3 styles or 35 products"

It used to show you every product, but then the marketplace was a bit of a mess. You might see page after page of the same image on every product imaginable. Not really shopper friendly.

Hmmm, but hovering doesn't work on an iPad, which is what I'm using right now. I guess most people are still using a non-tablet to do there shopping, so it would be okay. I wonder if a mobile version of zazzle is in the works?


Love your "help the Earth" and earth day designs, by the way. Very clever!

The search will return items that contain 'hide' 'seek' as well as 'Bigfoot' and this limits the search as there will be very few products with all of these terms, i.e. 4. If you use 'Bigfoot' in combination with a product type eg hat or T Shirt you'll get better results eg 'Bigfoot Hats' returns over 1000 hats with Bigfoot.
