Not an answer to your question but similarly, I've been searching for clothing lately and I have no idea how to search effectively. Example: I wanted to find a shirt I saw. It was a pretty straight forward mens long sleeve shirt with vertical red, white, and black stripes.
Putting that in Google, Google doesn't know what "vertical" means. It doesn't limit the search to "red+white+black" shirts. Of the first 60 hits only 4 actually match the search.
It's no better on etsy. first page of hits, (48 results, 3 matches that actually fit)
ebay has 2 matches of its first page of results and as for how bad it is, the 2nd results is for a woman's shirt. If the search engine had any smarts whatsoever it would prioritize "mens" over "womens" for a search for products with "mens" in the search string.
I know search must be hard but sometimes it feels from the outside that there's a ton of low-hanging fruit to be grabbed.

- gernb 4y agothat was the first thing I tried. It completely failed. Just seemed to key on "Striped shirt" and not on the specific colors or style.
