I don't like Product Search in its current state

    Don't get me wrong. It's fast and comprehensive and fully-featured in terms of faceted comparison-shopping, but, ... the pictures are so small. That's number one. Number two is that it often doesn't feature items from obscure stores and independent vendors. Why doesn't it at least have bigger pictures if it's supposed to be the best shopping engine?

    the pictures are standard size compared to other sites, probably because they're default pics and they use a smaller size because that's all they have available for some items and need to make them all identicle

    Sales from gbase are minuscule for us but it is good to see they are starting to work on the product again and are starting to enforce the policies. Why they don't give it more effort I'll never fully understand.

    If it "doesn't feature items from obscure stores and independent vendors" then it's the fault of those stores and vendors - they have to enter their products into Google base - it's not an automatic crawl.
    And speaking as an obscure store and independent vendor, it's HUGE advantage over other price comaprison sites, is it's free.
