The search bar responds to keywords from the pages ranging from General to Price.

The detail below explains what keywords to use to populate the correct way to search.
KEYWORDS ARE IN COLORS
PRICE
$
$$
$0 - $50
$50 - $100
More everyday items. Can buy multiple at a time without costing a fortune.
Semi-splurge items. Have to give more thought to purchasing, but still on the affordable side (won't go broke).
$$$
$$$$
$100 - $400
$400+
Splurge items. Not everyone can afford $100+ on a single item. These are usually saved up for or given as a special gift.
Very special items / luxury pieces. A majority of people would do significant damage spending $400+ on a singular item.

TRUSTABLE
*BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE*
YES:
Overall, this is a stamp of approval that I would shop here again. I liked the experience, I liked the clothing and I liked the process that the brand had set up for shopping online.
PARTLY:
It's about a half and half experience for me. I don't hate it but I don't love it and would probably put out a warning to proceed with caution when buying from them.
USUALLY:
This would likely mean that generally I like the brand or clothing items and only encountered maybe one or two issues while shopping there.
NO:
Something fairly severe must've happened to make me never want to order from that brand. However, while I might have had a bad experience, you might like it.
QUALITY
VERY HIGH:
Clothing made from fantastic fabrics and turned into into elaborate, unique designs. Usually, these clothes are thick, durable, made very well and have a special feel/look to them. Normally within the $$$$ range.
O
O
HIGH:
Made with quality fabrics, particularly well enough to not be see through (like many fast fashion items). These items have good durability and uniqueness, but lack an overwhelming sense of specialness that "high quality" has. Overall, this level is where many $$-$$$ fall.
O
FAIR:
Often times, what you pay for is what you get. Fair quality implies that if you're paying $20 for a shirt, expect $20 quality. It's not falling apart at the seams and feels relatively good to the touch, but there's definitely a lack of quality.
O
POOR:
These are the items that are falling apart, super sheer, thin material. Generally, it would be something you can still wear but overall it's disappointing.
VERY POOR:
These would be items that you would never purchase again. If it's delivered and looks nothing like it does online, fits weird, and have the sinking feeling that you just wasted your money - that would qualify for very poor.
