Future Developments and Search Improvements

Search improvements shipped and what's coming next — hosting migration, lens mount browsing, and more.

Future Developments and Search Improvements

A few things have shipped since launch and a few more are in progress. Here's where things stand.

Search improvements

The search engine now supports exact match (use quotes: "Canon 5D Mark III"), negative matching (use a minus: Sony 50mm -Art), forward slash normalisation so f/1.4 and f1.4 both work, and alternative keywords to handle naming inconsistencies between retailers.

Lens mount browsing

One of the most-requested features is browsing by lens mount — Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z, and so on. This is planned. The challenge is that retailer data doesn't consistently include mount information, so it needs to be inferred from product names.

Hosting

The site is currently on shared hosting. As traffic grows, moving to a private server is on the roadmap for better reliability and speed.

If there's something specific you'd like to see, the contact form is always open.
