Amazon (China) & multiple searches

Post by Shayne »

Hi Jon,

Since Amazon now has a store in China, would you please consider adding this to the Amazon searches available through the useful internet search feature?

A question: Would it be possible to search more than one site at once? Searching both Amazon and a university library at the same time, for instance, would be extremely useful.

One more: Is there anyway to delete the Pubmed search feature. This is not something I need, although I am sure many others do, and I would like to be able to delete menus, etc., I never use.

Cheers,
Shayne

Hi Shayne,

As far as I'm aware, it is not yet supported by their web services interface. Until it is, there is nothing I can do.

It would be very difficult to implement this, especially given that the two sources give entirely different search options.

You can remove the PubMed filter from the Import Filters folder if you want (I wouldn't bother, it gains you nothing). But no, Amazon, LOC, and PubMed searches are hardwired.

Hi Jon,

Thanks again.

I look forward to the China store being added one day.

It is a shame that multiple searches would be so difficult to implement, but there it is.

Cheers,
