Problem:  Searches for the "Mommy to be" t-shirts, which are requested for collections for the baby shower category in the cross-sell types are not very organized.  This may not even be very popular, since Zazzle doesn't sell maternity shirts anymore.  So, why even request them?  Strange as that is....
Searching for "Mommy to be" shirts, you'll see categories of "aunt" and "nana"....um, huh??  Trying different terms, such as "Mom to be" shirts, you'll see:  "for him", "for pets".... Okay, so this whole transgender thing, um, I guess, idk??
Even if you put in the quotes for "Mother to be" and add t-shirts...that comes up with cards, toddler t-shirts, etc. in the first 8.  What's going on there?  And if you drop down by Category sort to "Women's t-shirts", hmmm, t-shirts just drops off the main search, and you end up with Men's t-shirts [image category at top] and Women's t-shirts [image category at top] with a slew of t-shirts not even related to a "mother to be".  Really??
So in retrospect, I'll make one to fulfill 1 [only] collection request, but I can almost guarantee it won't ever surface to whatever category it is finally chosen for.  Nor is it even a popular requested item, if you don't even sell maternity shirts, hello?  And that's just according to the research that I've done.  So, please tell me, what is the point?  [rant over]

@LauraLee, oh thank you for pointing out all the search results info and the entire post... (taking the time). On my Collection I am trying to finish, I've done two shirts, boy and girl, just to fill-in like you mention. I've also made two plus size t-shirts that are in Bonus section hoping they would show up in search and be more attractive as a maternity shirt. All four t-shirts are heavy with Mom Mother Mama- to-be, so I'll revise the titles, description and keywords. 

You've made great points. Thanks again.

Yes, this doesn't make sense to me either, considering the shirt options don't include maternity fit.
