Here is how online shopping is done today. If you are looking for a laptop, you probably have to enter the model number, processors, and screen-size to find exactly what you want. You go through product wikis, reviews, search, and different filters to match what you need. A Google Product Search for a cheap laptop and an expensive laptop does not return differentiated results.

With Hidentify,  the app translates your basic query into meaningful results. Just check out this query on a “powerful laptop with large screen“. With Hidentify, the experience feels like talking to someone knowledgeable about products online.

Hidentify’s search results make it even more awesome. You can sort the results by the properties from your query. For example, searching for a powerful laptop will provide results that let you sort by performance. In addition you can read related searches to help refine your results. You can also post results to your Facebook Wall to ask for your friends’ opinion.

Hidentify is definitely a great step-up to what we have now, basically making traditional product search results look foolish. This tool is ideal for just any online shopper who does not want to be bothered by specious details, but want to be provided suggestions based on their own ideas.

Instead of the usual filters based on number of rooms, or price range, you can type in words like clean, safe, downtown, or close to a university to find the perfect hotel for you.

Find I Like does this by parsing not only the hotel descriptions as released by the hotel owners, but also focusing on indexing reviews for different hotels. These reviews are vital in providing a better picture of a hotel since it is the reviewers that can best describe their experience. You can also analyze related reviews or read a summary of reviews with a rates comparison to help you make an informed decision.

Find I Like saves hotel searchers a lot of time since it is not only enough to know the basic details of these hotels, as you also have to know what hotels match the qualities you are looking for as validated by hotel reviews. This tool is currently in beta so expect some bugs, but it does have a lot of potential as a laser-targeted hotel search engine.

Features:

• Find and analyze hotels based on personal preference.
• Compare rates and filter by price range.
• Choose priority for each preference to change search results.
• Filter preferences.
• Still in beta.
• Similar Tools: Gowaza, Kukunu, and RoomAtlas.
