[Net-amazon-devel] searching by browsenode

[John L. <gal...@ho...>]

Hi,

 

I attempted to make a basic search functionality and using Net::Amazon. I am searching by browsenode.

 

I am having some issues with the search results being very inaccurate. Could you help me?

 

This is my code snippet:

 

my $search = param('search');
my $department = param('department');
my $response;
my %browsernodeids = (
    books           => 1000,
    clothing        => 1036682,
    electronics     => 493964,
    dvd             => 130,
    videogames      => 493964
);


if ($search)
{
    if ($department eq "all")
    {
        $response = $ua->search(blended => $search);
    }
    else
    {
        if (exists $browsernodeids{$department})
        {
            $response = $ua->search(browsenode  => $browsernodeids{$department},
            mode => $department,
            keywords => $search);
        }
    }
}

 

My first case for Books is working pretty well. I tested this with 'Harry potter'. No big issues.

 

My second case for Video Games, however, is not looking good. I searched for "mario" and got very few results, all which are accessories without any "mario" word in it. I also searched for "zelda" and no results found.

 

Is there something wrong with my code? Why isn't it working?

 

 

John
