A method and apparatus for performing low price searches in a computer network is presented. Search request data identifying a particular item is received at a processor. Availability information reflecting availability of a set of items in an inventory is then obtained, each item in the set corresponding to the particular item. After obtaining the information, it is ascertained whether the search request data includes a target price reflecting a user's price preference associated with the item. A determination is then made as to whether price information associated with each item in the set substantially satisfies the target price. After which, a selection of an item from the set is confirmed based on the determination. |
