The solution that I would like to see is for online stores to add the ability to refine your search by what you DON'T want. For example, when looking for a game on Steam it would be helpful to exclude features that are deal breakers for me (e.g. permadeath). Or on Amazon it would be useful to be able to exclude Chinese brands. I don't know how it would be implemented, but it would also be useful to be able to see what the "standard" and "entry level" products in a given category is. For example, I might be looking for a piece of equipment for a hobby that I am trying out and I want to know "what is the cheapest thing that isn't a shoddy knockoff". Or when I'm looking for a tool I'm often looking one that "I may replace it with a more expensive version when I become an expert, but I would never HAVE to replace it in order to progress".
