This is pretty cool. I've seen some startups try to tackle this (sorry don't remember the names) but I haven't seen someone actually make the search standardised.

My recommendation would be to make sure people are not giving custom names to stuff but rather choose from a list. This would make the whole searching thing much easier.

Good luck!

Great shout, you're right. I think it's about finding a balance between standardising the listing as much as possible but allowing for people to post any item they're after.

Cheers!
