Abstract

A system to provide search recommendations to users of an e-commerce system comprising various listings arranged in various categories, includes identifying a single category (182), based on user interaction with the system; identifying at least one frequently used search term associated with the category (184); and, generating/providing a link to the results/listings associated with that frequently used search term (188). A number of frequently used search terms may be pre-stored in memory, pre-ranked based on the number of matching results/listings for each search term in each category, and retrieved from memory (186) for display to the user.
