Pop Quiz #1

Question: which site lets you do a search for apartments that allow large dogs > 25 pounds?

(not just a generic "allows pets" or "allows dogs" which might or might not include big dogs)

A: Apartment Guide
B: Apartments.com
C: ForRent.com
D: RENTNET

Answer: Apartments.com (see: apartments)

I've heard the question, "who uses all of these search attributes?"

The answer, of course, if nobody uses every product search attribute.

But how many people have at least one critical product search attribute?

Factor in individual differences, and pretty soon we are talking about a lot of potentially important attributes.
