RE: [Mtamazon] Amazon returning "there are no exact matches for the search" -- but there *should* be

Outstanding -- thanks for the info. BTW, on the Amazon webservices
discussion board, it was recommended that I change my URL from:

http://xml-na.amznxslt.com/onca/xml2?t=engage06-20&dev-t=DBT21IKN9P13&ListMa
niaSearch=1N2TQFOFH8YTX&mode=books&type=lite&page=1&f=xml 

to: 

http://xml.amazon.com/onca/xml3?t=engage06-20&dev-t=DBT21IKN9P13&ListManiaSe
arch=1N2TQFOFH8YTX&type=lite&page=1&f=xml 

Apparently, you don't need mode if doing a Wishlist or Listmania query and
xml2 has now been replaced by xml3. Any thoughts? This seems to spit back a
beefier (that's the technical term!) XML response, although Amazon still
doesn't see my listmania list yet.

Thanks,
G.

That's the problem exactly. As far as I can tell, AWS operates on a copy of
the Amazon database. The copy seems to be refreshed on some sort of
schedule. New wishlists, Listmania lists, and even new products sometimes
take a bit of time to show up in AWS.
