Search Assistance at eBay

I spotted an interesting assistive search technique at eBay today:

It’s interesting to me because of its simplicity and it could be pretty effective at teaching people how to refine searches which is something that doesn’t just come naturally. It’s enlightening to watch an inexperienced person use a search engine and compare it with a pro who magically seems to know the right search terms to type in to get results.
