Seems like a fun scraping project, I think you have to work on extracting more accurate categories though, for example this link does not really include snowboards for me: https://www.searchagora.com/search?query=Snowboard And the first products I clicked have rather weird descriptions, https://www.searchagora.com/products/snowboard-bd2a90aa-6808...

Maybe its my location (South Africa) but I also cannot visit the product store when I click through




Agreed. I'm currently saving a data field for 'product category' but this is defined by the store owner and currently not used for search. Trying to figure out the most reliable way to categorize products, to then make it available as a filter to narrow down the selection.

Additionally, the search for "snowboard" vs "snowboards" returns back different results which isn't ideal: since the user intent is the same. This is something I'm hoping to resolve with AI-powered search.

In the footer, I changed my location to be South Africa and a few other countries to try the same search to see what products come up. Thanks for the feedback and heads up on this!
