Search As-You-Type

The first improvement is that the search box in the upper right corner of every page will now dynamically suggest search results from a variety of sources. Type in “privacy” and a link to our privacy statement will appear. Type in “optic” and you’ll see a link to browse the entire 2xist Optic line. To visit the product or item, just click on an element in the dropdown menu with your mouse.

Spelling Corrections

Can’t spell a brand? Our new search feature will try be as helpful as it can be by suggesting an appropriate spelling.

Powerful Search Filters

If you press enter or click the Go button to submit your search, you’ll be taken to a page that shows matching search results for your query. The power in this page lies in the list of links on the right-hand side. Want to quickly drilldown to the 2xist products that have a size small in stock? Just click “2xist” under the “Brand” heading and “S” under the “Size In Stock” heading, and now you’ve got a view of our product catalog that’s just what you wanted to see.

Indeed, browsing the search page without typing any search keywords (just press the “Go” button in the search box without typing any words) is a powerful and convenient way to browse the products on our Web site. You can construct some pretty unique views of our product catalog. For example, you could [see all of the black low rise briefs that we have in stock in size medium](http://www.skiviez.com/Search/Results.underwear?t=Search&v=Active&c=Black&s=Low Rise Briefs&d=M). Or, you could see all of our pink underwear.

We appreciate your feedback! If you have any suggestions or experience any problems, don’t hesitate to e-mail us at info@skiviez.com. Happy searching!

As you might imagine, some of the incoming search phrases can be a bit strange. Others ask genuine questions that we don’t immediately know the answer to. Just today, for example, I saw an incoming search for “what color boxer is most popular” whizz by on the log monitors. I thought that this was an interesting question, so I fired away a few statements at our database.

Since boxers tend to come in lots of different plaid or print patterns, we’ve lumped most of them under a single color based on their dominant color. For example, 2xist’s Black Icicle Boxer shows up in these results as simply “black.” If the pattern or color was unclassifiable, then we lumped it under “multi-colored pattern.”

Drum roll, please:
