It&amp;#x27;s so nice to be able to drill down into any product in any product category (for kakaku this is not just tech products but contact lenses, credit cards, movers, electricity providers, car insurance, phone plans, etc) using the specs you want, and then sort by intelligently selected columns like $&amp;#x2F;TB for a harddisk.&lt;p&gt;Amazon attempts to do some product categorization but it doesn&amp;#x27;t work at all - even when they have the category you want to filter on the results are usually wrong, and the sort options are bad and marred by their ads and recommendations.</text><parent_chain><item><author>aasasd</author><text>If you&amp;#x27;re asking about services too: Yandex Market. It&amp;#x27;s like Google Product Search that is actually successful and widely used for searching for specific products, or Amazon that doesn&amp;#x27;t swindle you left and right.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s basically just a large catalog of products, filled by third-parties a-la Amazon now, only it didn&amp;#x27;t sell anything itself (until recently). Instead, it had detailed characteristics for a lot of products, with corresponding filters in the catalog; and good user reviews. Since Yandex is good at dealing with unstructured text, even poor data exports by vendors end up organized decently on the service. Since Yandex had millions of users on its other services, they all could leave reviews without much hassle. And since Yandex is primarily a search engine, it knows when a bogus review is spammed across the web.&lt;p&gt;Alas, it&amp;#x27;s only available in Russian since it works with Russian shops. Every time I need to look for a product on the English web, I lament that there&amp;#x27;s no service that is quite that solid. Amazon has filters, but search results usually look like simply a bit better Aliexpress. In regard to Google Product Search I don&amp;#x27;t even know anything particular—I tried to use it a couple times, and my general impression is that it... exists. Not much else.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Ask HN: What are the best websites that the Anglosphere doesn&apos;t know about?</title><text>What unique or high-quality content only exists outside the English-speaking web?

It&amp;#x27;s a travesty.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s completely impossible to tell good quality stuff from useless garbage (especially since they are usually commingled in the same listing), and often it&amp;#x27;s impossible to find good quality stuff at all under the barrage of listings of the same two products with different fake brand names. The sorting options are a joke and the ratings are gamed so much they indicate nothing except how much the seller spent buying reviews.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s amazing that Google hasn&amp;#x27;t been able to do better here.</text><parent_chain><item><author>aasasd</author><text>If you&amp;#x27;re asking about services too: Yandex Market.
