Google has just announced a new enterprise search service called Commerce Search. The name might remind you of Froogle, but this is not that kind of commerce/product search. With Commerce Search, Google has created what is essentially a shopping cart solution for online retailers.
Commerce Search, as Google describes it, promises to improve an e-commerce web site's search and usability.
