Yup. The gimmick is in the implementation, not search by colour
as a feature: it's not that useful to only have a colour
revealed at mouseover (from what I remember of etsy 1.0 - etsy 2.0
tells me to get better Flash, which I can't on Linux).

Perhaps you could ask people to post their saved eBay searches.
For example, I have one for silver + enamel across all
categories. I'm not bothered whether it's a brooch, watch, dish
or necklace.
