Searching for a better price online does work but you always must be prepared to do some research on the company you want to buy from. Craigslist is also great for certain items, id stay away from the electronics though. Great for furniture…

I used Google to find a digital camera, but it led me astray: I ended up buying one from a pretty disreputable site. I know the onus was on me to do more research, but I found a site that had a much cheaper Canon camera than the other sites.

It was too good to be true — the site was rip-off, and I ended up paying MORE than other sites. (Long story.) I got the camera I wanted, but it was a huge hassle.

Bottom line: Use google, but be sure to do some research on the site to make sure they’re on the up-and-up.

Google has been trying to make (some of) these functions more visible, though in their minimalist way. There’s a “search options” link on the results page that shows some of these filters (reviews, last hour, etc) depending on the type of search.

I think Bing does a better job with making these types of searches more available to the user, and making the results more usable even without the filters.

I consider myself an experienced “web searcher” and had never explored this Google tool. Thanks–it’s brilliant.

The shortcuts are cool but usually use google more when price comparison or looking for online ecommerce stores that would have lower prices than in store.

I use the Google shopping search when doing projects for school. It’s helpful when you’re on a budget.
