Re: [Net-amazon-devel] searching by browsenode

[Christopher B. <bou...@gm...>]

I don't think there is anything wrong with your code, as much as there
is something wrong with the browse node.  The node number you used is
the one listed in the API documentation, but I think you need to pick
a more specific one.

I ran the browse script from the eg/ directory in the distribution,
and got many results for Zelda.

 ./browse 11846801 videogames zelda

B0009VXBAQ Wii $249.99
B001TOQ8WU Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story $33.99
B002BRZ9G0 New Super Mario Bros. $46.99
B000FQ9QVI Super Mario Galaxy $46.49
B000FQ9R4E Super Smash Bros. Brawl $43.99
B000LFJNF2 Wii Charge Station $24.49
B000FQBPCQ The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess $43.99
B000FRV2UK The Legend of Zelda:  Phantom Hourglass $28.49
B000W5Y49G Official Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training $19.49
B00000DMB3 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
B000084318 Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker
B000FQBPDU Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
B0009UBR3A The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
B00002STXN The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
B00004SVXW Legend of Zelda
B00006LELB The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Includes Four Swords) $19.99
B000BRULV0 The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition
B000JVM256 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Collector's Edition
B00005ATSN The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
B0009Y808Q Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (Collector's Edition) - Nintendo 64
B00030GS80 The Legend of Zelda - The Minish Cap


Hope this helps.
