AW: [Mtamazon] Problem with "power"-search: no results -- CONTINUED...

Hi Adam

thanks for the fast reply! Checking the content of the cache files was a
good hint, I should have thought of that myself. Your guess was right:

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<ProductInfo><ErrorMsg>There are no exact matches for the
search.</ErrorMsg></ProductInfo>

is returned for BOTH the Powersearch (so I guess we can simply forget =
about
that feature) and the ListManias... but the ListManias are only a day =
old
indeed, so I'll try to be patient and see what happens! Thanks a lot for =
the
hint!! If the ListMania searches work eventually, I'll simply put up one =
for
every category in MT, run a Powersearch like I would have in MTAmazon =
and
transfer the hits I like manually... Much more work, to be sure, but
probably worth it.

Again, thanks for your help and for the excellent plug-in, too!

Cheers,
Christian

For new Listmania lists it can sometimes take anywhere from an hour to
several days before they are available from AWS.

My guess is that Amazon simply isn't returning results for your Power
search. There are a number of things that don't work consistently with
Amazon's Web services. Searches often return different results through =
AWS
than they do through the Web front end.

You can look to see if that's your problem by opening up the cache file =
to
see what it says. If it says that no products were found, then MTAmazon =
is
working just fine but AWS isn't. Not much I can do about that. Asking =
Amazon
doesn't seem to ever work. I've left several questions on their =
developer's
board about various things not working properly and never received a
response.
