where you are looking for something specific, and google the item, only to find endless streams of goods, not quite what you want. Start search again with different wording, and find the same, too much choice perhaps.

Yes I agree with the too much choice thing, recently I was looking for some new boots and a shirt, got presented with so much choice I decided not to bother.

I am looking for a utensil holder, something specific, but you can type in holder, jar, caddy, and come up with 50,000 entries, add in a colour and you could be lost in space.

I ordered a leather jacket last year and was told I could choose a tartan lining from the Lochcarron mill, after looking through over 500 tartans I came to the conclusion that I didn't like tartan so went for plain brown instead.

Froogle is amazing. Make a search, it sorts and shows items in "relevant" order. (So if they are not relevant why are they on the list at all ?) And there are 2 pages worth. You browse, then you ask for a re-sort on "price" order. See loads of items not related to the search, and then discover that the combined 2 page list show none of the items you saw in the "relevant" search. It's like looking at a different list.

D97, well done, but i'm like that, can't decide, go on to scan pages, or shops and still not find what i'm looking for.

OG, will do that, might save some time. thank you

Try searching certain sites rather than google. Try Amazon for utensil holder, or John Lewis, as examples.

Hc, have done that, endlessly, been to the shops too, but not what i'm after, and looked on Amazon, the problem is you type in utensil holder, but it could be jar, caddy, and then of course there are different companies, so it's not so much confusing as a minefield.

Explain to me what you want and I will find it for you.
If I don't, you can kick me in the shin
