Brian, I do a lot of online shopping, and I find that looking for a timeshare to purchase is a lot like looking for a car or RV. What I really like is sites that provide a series of check boxes in the left column where I can specify make, model, age, price range, etc. I see "filter by city", and where that may be helpful to some, it hardly ever helps me. For instance, looking for Maui in the Kaanapali area there are actually a number of cities, so filtering on city doesn't help, especially if I didn't know that Kahana is next door. So for example boxes for part of the world and I check "USA", under it would open new boxes with area of the country. I choose "Hawaii", and under it open boxes for island, etc, etc, until I stop at area. This would work similar to the RCI search, but I would also add boxes for maximum price, time of year, points vs weeks, resort chain name, etc. That way if I did a search with poor results I might expand the date range and search again. Or change the area and serach again.
