Right now, you'll find that our results for relatively specific searches (e.g. LG 42" Plasma - http://www.bountii.com/search.php?item=lg+42%22+plasma&s...) are really good.

However, like you mentioned, a broader search- "Playstation 3", yields more than consoles. We're working hard to improve the quality of our results for broad searches like this. For now, we decided to make the price filter very accessible to people. When you get back more than consoles for your "Playstation 3" search, we hope you'll narrow your results to those "> $200" to skip over the games and accessories.

The price filter isn't always good enough though. For instance, searching for "laser printer" brings up printers and cartridges, but on the low end of the price scale the prices are similar. Could you improve the search so that adding "-cartridge" eliminates cartridge results?

Really nice product search engine though. I got great results for the Nokia N800.
