Abstract
Methods and systems for using a demand metric for disambiguating a keyword entered from a user of a client machine, the keyword ambiguously identifying a product category, deriving a dominant product category that indicates the probable identity of the product category, and providing selectable images of aspects of the dominant product category for rendering at the client machine. Selection of one of the selectable images of aspects of the dominant product category disambiguates the identity of the ambiguously identified product category. Additional aspects of the disambiguated product category are then presented to the user.
