Power Search
Submitted by admonkey on 10. July 2009 - 22:04.
Power Search looks at all ecomonkey content, including products, faqs, retailer and brand profiles and more. However when we refresh the database, the banana is a bit under-ripe (it may be rather green) and won't work so well as conventional search, which we've recently given some special treatment (but remember to to search clever with "quotes" and get +more or -less).
Results are grouped by tab. Try it and see.
Important Notice
NB Sadly we are shortly closing down the Ecomonkey Shopping Channel. Alas too few thought this was as good an idea as we did at the outset. In no particular order: Spammers, lack of consumer goodwill, lack of +ve press, greedy/incompetent consultants and advisers (they ate the marketing budget), lack of a patient sponsor, no big fat marketing budget have all conspired to make the project fall ell short of expectations.
The upside is that we built a robust system with small capital invested which withstood the challenges technically, which is no small achievement. All suppliers have been and continue to be paid (except the ones that failed or could not deliver.)
IMPORTANTLY Kiva and several hundred small businesses in the developing world have benefited to the tune of around $3000 invested or reinvested. This is a revolving fund and continues to get topped up, and gets reinvested at the rate of $100 every few months. That alone makes us happy.
Banana Powered Search
Power search finds not just products, but brand and retailer profiles and more. On the results screen click a tab to narrow your search. Add -keyword to remove annoying results or +keyword to ensure a better match. Watch out for the green banana - it means the database has recently been updated and the index incomplete.
