Why I built OneFindMe: making AliExpress search less frustrating

Searching AliExpress often feels like work. There are millions of products, but the titles are frequently machine-translated, many listings look identical, and comparing the real differences can take far too long.

I built OneFindMe as a side project to make product discovery feel more like a conversation. Instead of guessing the right marketplace keywords, users can describe what they want in natural language in any of 12 languages. The engine turns that intent into useful search terms, ranks relevant products, and helps surface similar or cheaper alternatives. It also supports image search when words are not enough.

The biggest lesson so far is that relevance matters more than the number of results. Showing more products is easy; understanding what the shopper actually means is the difficult part.

The next idea I am exploring is budget-based shopping: a user could say, for example, “I have a budget of 150 shekels for supplies for a large dog,” and the engine would build a suitable basket instead of returning disconnected products.

I would value honest feedback from other builders: what would make you trust a product-search engine enough to use it before the marketplace search itself—better comparisons, transparent ranking, price history, or something else?
