How can we get the blended search results. I don't see a place where we can get this. Ho wis this done e.g. I type "Star war" and want to get returned - star wars dvd, toys, books......

Hi,

Of course it's possible to get blended search results, but you're right, the docs are terrible, so here's a pseudo-example:

$aq = new AmazonQuery();
$query = $aq->query($_GET['q'], "Blended", $_GET['c'], $language, "lite", $_GET['p']);

if(!$query->getErrorMessage()){
    foreach($query->productLines as $productLine){
        if($productLine != NULL){
            $productInfo = $productLine->productInfo;
            echo getCategory($language, $productLine->getMode());
            foreach($productInfo->details as $product){
                if($product != NULL)
                    echo $product->getProductName();
            }
        }
    }
}

This example is loosely based on the search results returned by my own site (http://www.madd0.com). I expect blended searches to be a lot easier in the next release.

Hope it's useful.
