Whether at the engines or on-site, people often search in ways you do not expect. I'm a long tail guy at the engines but when I come to a site that is sticky, I'll use a broad, single word term so that I can see all that the site offers that's related to what I'm looking for. It's easier for me to do comparison shopping when I can see all brands, accessories and options. This leads me to a pet peeve. Please allow users to view ALL the items they want, I like to see everything at once so don't limit your SKUs to 24 or 48 per page: Let your user decide and honor their preference!
