[Mtamazon] Linking to search results (long)

I'd like to use MTMacro with MTAmazon to create a system whereby I can  
create links to Amazon search results on-the-fly in my entries.  (I've  
already got a similar macro for linking to individual items that works  
quite well.)

I'd like to be able to type <amazon search="barenaked  
ladies">BNL</amazon> and have a link to the search results for  
Barenaked Ladies returned (with "BNL" as the link text).  Intuitively,  
I think the macro should look like this (which is very similar to my  
*working* item link macro):

<MTAmazon search="[MTMacroAttr name='search']" method="Keyword"><a  
href="<MTAmazonLink>"><MTMacroContent></a></MTAmazon>

But that produces a link to a book about the band (with the link text  
being the phrase "BNL") repeated ten times.  (This is the html  
produced: <a  
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0769215793/gobecky-20?dev- 
t=0EFNE5H9EEWG2DEZGW02%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2"><span  
class="caps">BNL</span></a><a

Ok, so I understand the logic of what's being produced (in that the  
default line is books, and the default number of searches is 10).  I  
understand how I could change the search attributes to return the top  
CD.  But that's not what I want.  :)

I want, to begin with, an all products search, and I want the link  
produced to be to the search results page (like this one:  
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=pd_kk_sr_1/103 
-0717442-1261430?index=blended&field-keywords=barenaked%20ladies except  
including my assoc. id).

So:  Can this be done with MTAmazon?  If so, how?  If not, does anyone  
have any suggestions as to other plugins to do this job?  Or, how I can  
just manually construct the URL's?

Thanks for any ideas you might have...
