Looks very nice and useful app. Thanks for sharing. Suggestion: An auto-suggest while you search would add lot of values.

nice one. quick question, when you pull in prices from flipkart do you show discounted prices? for eg: try searching "thinking fast and slow". I bought this book recently for 324 INR but that doesn't show up in the search. How often do you index the source pages? Is it real time?

I think you are on Google app engine. You can add a python service for auto-suggest, an example here: http://www.sarathlakshman.com/2011/03/03/implementing-autoco...
