With B2C Commerce, you can let customers refine a search using multiple attributes, such as price, promotion, category, or a product attribute. For example, let customers search for TVs based on-screen size, price and manufacturer, or to search for lenses based on zoom magnification, price, and manufacturer. This is useful if you have a large catalog and any particular customer is only looking for specific products. For example, on an apparel site, most customers are not interested in items that are not in their desired size or color.
