[Mtamazon] Non-product search results.

Hey Adam et. al.

This is probably an Amazon.com XML issue, but I'll post the situation
for your review.

Try searching the amazon.com site for the string below

     "errol morris" "The fog of war"

The search list returns an entry with a link looking like this:


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JMQ0/qid=1075152681//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl27/002-3366863-6976057?v=glance&s=theatrical&n=507846

There's what looks like an ASIN in there and, indeed it works as one.
EG: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JMQ0/synaptic-20

Kind of funky -- in lieue of an as yet unreleased DVD, Amazon's
providing theatre showtimes. Users can even search on the "Movie
Showtimes" category. Nice feature.

That's all fine and well, but the following MTAmazon code produces no
search results and, therefore, no ASIN or MTAmazonLink (Clever, btw,
to have MTAmazonLink return the blog index URL.). Apologies for
formatting...

<MTMacroDefine name="AmazonKeyword" tag="Keyword">
 <div class="media" align="right">
<MTTagInvoke tag_name="MTAmazon"  method="Keyword" lastn="1"
><MTTagAttribute name="search">"<$MTMacroAttr name="A"$>"
"<$MTMacroAttr name="B"$>"</MTTagAttribute></MTTagInvoke>
<a href="<MTAmazonLink>" target="_blank"><img
src="<MTAmazonMediumImage>" hspace="4" align="right"
border="0"><$MTMacroAttr name="B"$></a>
   <br /><$MTMacroAttr name="A"$><br /><br />
<MTAmazonManufacturer><br />
<MTAmazonReleaseDate format="%B %Y"><br /><br />
<a href="<MTAmazonLink>" target="_blank">More @ Amazon.com</a>
</MTAmazon>
</div><br clear="right" />
<div>&nbsp;</div>
</MTMacroDefine>

I'd like it very much if this worked as expected ;)

Cheers,

p.
