The first principle is still the right one, and the product has built a second product on top of it that does not have to agree.

Say a thing the way you'd say it. Get back a few genuinely different answers. Grade the pile on a quality you name. That loop still works when you force it. Everything added around it — the eBay toolbar, the facet sheet, the auto-lens, the canned demo, the TV burst — is a second opinion.

The front door sells a product the button does not open.

The Le Creuset block is a clean toy: discontinued color versus current lineup, and it really filters, down to 1 of 200. “Try it on live listings” searches le creuset dutch oven and auto-grades size. Large versus compact, kinds Round versus Oval. Color never shows up. On a phone the loudest thing above the fold is the Rummage TV starburst, which is a different site.

Search picks one eBay noun and then becomes a client for it.

“I keep losing my keys” became key tracker and a wall of AirTag clones. The companion knew the other answer and said it: a hook by the door. The kinds underneath were only tracker subdivisions. Told “no trackers, a hook or a bowl,” it rewrote the keyword to key holder, dropped bowl and door, and the grid came back carabiners, a pocket organizer, and two actual wall racks. The sentence at the top updated. The grid half-obeyed.

The lens is the idea, and it rots in place.

One gets applied before you ask. For the sneakers it was youth-versus-adult, with a bucket named “Adult Sizing” sitting next to “Adult.” For the keys it was bulky-versus-everyday-carry, and that axis was still there after the search had become wall hooks: 175 of them called “standard,” 69 “can’t tell.” Forrest Gump to vintage did find the four real 1980s pairs, but 177 of 251 had landed in a bucket called “Classic” because that is the model name in the title. The grade is not on the card. You get a histogram of title words.

Three narrowing systems share one grid, and the counts never describe the same pile.

Left rail, top bar (New/Used, Sort, and a Filters sheet that is eBay’s category tree plus a second price box), and the bottom dock, whose kinds are a fresh eBay query rather than a filter on what you’re looking at. At one point the header said 4 shown, 70 set aside, 735 on eBay, and the set-aside reason was still “not Nike Cortez Forrest Gump” after the keyword had already changed.

The dock is the smartest surface and the one covering the finds.

It accumulates shopping advice — check style code DM4044-108 — which is the old world. The premise was that you should not have to know the style code. After a couple of turns the useful card is at the bottom of a log, and the collapsed bar shows the least useful sentence.

The repair is subtraction until one loop is left. A kind has to be allowed to leave the first keyword, the way the companion already can in prose. A lens appears when someone names a quality, and it leaves when the search changes. One price control. The dock states the decision and gets out of the way. And the homepage demo should open the demo.
