[BlindTlk] one problem common to all ecommerce platforms

[Jude DaShiell]

First search on the original purchase and a *like* or * operator.
Next remove the original purchased item from the list returned.  You're
left with all relevant accessories and can go from there.  The problem
ecommerce sites may run into is vendors putting misinformation into the
keywords so that this search won't work and those vendors need be dealt
with severely.

A search quality review for this kind of search should be made available
to buyers so they can report vendors putting misinformation into their
keywords and that way any ecommerce sites can know exactly where to take
adverse action should adverse action be desireable.
