Default Mobo feature search tool - inquiry about tool existence

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a mobo feature search
tool? Something where you could/can specify various features that you
want on a mainboard and the tool would show you which mainboards fit
the criteria or come close.

If there is such a thing, could someone please let me know where to
get it? Thanks.

The only sites with a strong incentive to do something along those lines,
are the web retailers. I use www.newegg.com for a lot of research like
that. You don't have to buy there, and can figure out what you want, based
on what they stock. Naturally, you're not going to get to see everything
that way, but you'll see the popular stuff.

(An example - click advanced search)
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCateg...l-Motherboards

This is another one. It is only as good, as the amount of info they've loaded,
and how up to date they keep it. Has some of the same issues as the Newegg one,
in terms of convenient or exact search terms. Sometimes, on the Newegg one,
I find myself adding a text string, to try to match a certain want, as the
menu items don't quite cut it.
