I would call shop.app a search engine for shopping. On the homepage is a search box with suggestions inside for keywords you may wish to shop for (that also suggest topics they cover well). They have a variety of stuff from BBQs to clothing. I bought some lights. The results show you the name of the light along with its picture, review rating, and price when available. The thumbnails are similar to Pinterest, only smaller. Though small, they are rightly sized to be able to see and shop comfortably. I found many sales on lights when I shopped. The delivery was prompt and I would use them again.
Many websites have search boxes and can be viewed as search egnines in a vague sense but don't fit the technical defintion. We call a site a search engine when it offers little value beyond the searching for things located on other websites. Since shop.app allows you to shop directly, it is more akin to ebay.com than google.com for instance. Thanks -- Mathew.
