An item may be analyzed to identify one or more geographic attributes that are associated with the item. Items are searchable using a geographic attribute to identify geographically related items. A search of a catalog of items identifies items having a geographic attribute shared by the geographic attribute at the focus of the search. Embodiments may enable a user to obtain an identified item in a commercial transaction. A display component can be configured to provide a map on which one or more of the identified items are shown. While not intuitive to users, using geography to search and identify geographically related items in a catalog can provide users with a unique way of looking at items and conducting commercial transactions for such items. Geographic attributes of individual items may also be displayed on a map.
