I am a webmaster designing a website for a furniture store that wants
to go head-to-head with their competition by using the following
method...

When a competitor advertises in a local flyer or insert, my client
will advertise right alongside saying they will beat the price for the
exact same item -- if the product is ordered from my clients website.

Here's where I need your help.  When the potential customer visits my
clients site, he/she will be asked to type in the name of the item of
furniture they are looking for.  (A lot of these businesses carry the
exact same furniture from the same manufacturer, but under a private
label.)

What we need is a program that would search a database of competitors
product names (which we have) and bring up the name of the same
product my client sells under his private label.  That way the
customer enters the name of what they have seen elsewhere and compare
that to my clients price for the identical item.

Hope that makes sense.
