Let say I know almost nothing about wines/digital cameras/cars and a search site offers me "options" to drill down. However, I cant use those effectively and eventually it comes down to availability and price for me. My questions are what are your thoughts on these kinds of situations and is there a scientific explanation/theory on this case? This may be why Google does not endorse faceted search except for experimental projects. Mr. Tunkelang I would like to ask a related question on this topic.
