We implemented a new system recently whereby we would include any listings within very obviously related categories in search results for these generic terms. So in the example above we would show the normal search results PLUS any listings from within the Video Games : Sony : PS3 : Games category.
Some more we've added are :
womens shoes
mens shoes
womens clothes
baseball cards
bags
ps4 games
xbox games
toys
art
photography
We'd like to ask your help in suggesting any very obviously generic search terms that will rarely appear in the listing titles but are often used by shoppers for wide ranging searches.
