With the recent update of the Product Search experience (http://search.live.com/products/), users can both research and find deals on products within Live Search. We've incorporated feedback from our users during the beta cycle and revamped the user experience, so now users can search and refine products by user opinions, brand, category, and price ranges. In addition, users can sort results by best user, expert rating, and price. Try it out, and send us your feedback!
Here are highlights of our product search experience:
In the example below, you can view both positive and negative feedback on the Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS receiver. You can click Ease of Use above the green bar to read actual user comments specifically about Ease of Use. This makes it really easy to parse long user reviews to find exactly what you're looking for. Learn more about summarizing user reviews in our previous post here.
Instant answers In addition to the Product Search update, we've improved Product instant answers in web search for broader product queries like GPS, digital cameras, plasma tv, where your intent is research. The instant answer provides guides (we now have a larger selection) and user and expert reviews.
Try different product searches in web search and give us your feedback by clicking Is this Useful?
Note This is a U.S. release only. We haven't yet released these features internationally.
More to come We're excited to bring you these new Product search features, and we have a lot more planned in the coming months. In the meantime, try out a few searches like gps systems, mp3 players, and cell phones, and let us know what you think by using the Feedback link!

Are these features coming internationally (say, to the UK)? I'd like to see this, and the new QnA from Live Search here.
I want to know if their availiable to california
Sorry to say, but from here in the Netherlands it is not working.
Unfortunately when I tried to test these features I get zero results for any search, including the example in the screenshot above.
Same as above. Not even one sample query worked....
Thanks for reading. This is a U.S. release and you will not be able to access these features internationally at this time.
Thank you for your feedback. Can you provide the exact URL you are trying and possibly a screenshot? Thanks.
Dear team, the US release is fun (and usable) to play with and I really wonder... When will there be an European launch? We got several European clients related to our hypotheekindex.nl that might be interested in this.
BTW. I liked testing it! Took me some ways from the companies international proxy but it worked :)
Still not working, i am really looking forward to such a feature.
If this is not working, can you try appending &mkt=en-us to the URL and let me know what you see? This will force the U.S. market setting since we do not have international support. Thanks for your feedback.
