Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for searching for items in a catalog using normalized item attributes. A range of values on a normalized scale is determined for an option for an attribute associated with a representative item. The range of values of the representative item is correlated with a first unit on a first scale of item classification. Multiple items are identified based at least in part on the option for the attribute. Each of the items is associated with a respective option for the attribute that has a respective range of values on the normalized scale that overlaps the range of values of the representative item. The respective range of values of one or more of the items is correlated with a second unit on a second scale of item classification.
