Shopify has tried a few times to build a tool like this but hasn’t ever managed to get any traction. I think that missing any curation at all could be what eventually kills it. Their current attempt is https://shop.app https://shop.app and a query for red shoes is mostly red shoes.

Its also difficult (but not impossible) to properly classify items so that you can better target results for a given query. One of the first problems that anyone attempting this will run into is the amount of mature content available on Shopify shops. Innocent queries turn up many NSFW images that may offend some users, so you have to be able to get on top of that one pretty quick. I remember in once case, I found what appeared to be an escort service listing "models" on Shopify. It was super creepy. I needed to get in front of that one pretty quick as well, as it was turning up in results.
