Overview

PriceGrabber helped people compare prices across thousands of merchants. I redesigned how they searched and browsed — the moment between knowing roughly what you want and finding the exact product to compare.

Suggestions appear as you type and are split in two: category matches first, specific products second. A short query like “Cam” can mean a camera, a camcorder or a camping tent — grouping lets people pick the right lane before they ever hit a results page.

The search field shown twice: a collapsed hint state, and an expanded suggestion list grouped into categories and products. — Collapsed and expanded suggestion states for the query “Cam”.

Shop by Category flyout with the Indoor Living subcategories expanded. — Browse without leaving the page — the Shop by Category flyout opens subcategories in place, with examples under each.
