For my U.K. readers-how to find just what you need!

Author: Elizabeth

Two hundred and forty seven MILLION, four hundred forty seven thousand, and forty one. That is how many products are listed on the ShopWiki UK shopping search engine site. I’m pretty sure that’s every product in existence! Unlike sites that require stores to pay for placement, ShopWiki UK does not, which is why the site has 30,000 stores listed. That’s a LOT of stores, people. And the Wiki part of the title? Just like it says, the site combines web-crawling technology with consumer-written wiki (like Wikipedia, but not affiliated).

So, let’s say you are expecting a baby and you are ready to shop for a Car Seat. Type that into the ShopWiki search bar and you’ll get back 12, 164 results. Yikes, that’s a lot of reviews to read. Refine further by defining Baby Car Seats, and that narrows the results down to 268. Okay, that’s a little easier, but still a lot of pages to go through. What if you define a specific brand of car seat that you have read or been told is a good one to buy? If you type in Britax Baby Car Seats, now you are down to 64 results with links to the stores selling that specific brand, and when you mouse over the title of each listing, a box pops up showing the stores and their prices. Easy to search, easy to compare prices!

Shopping search engines make using the Internet to find just what you need SO much easier. And combing them with Wikis means that you get consumer opinions, not just the information that the store has paid for. ShopWiki UK is sure to have a listing for just what you are looking for!
