Subject: Better Amazon Sherlock plug-ins
Better Amazon.com plug-ins for Apple's Sherlock feature in Mac OS 8.5.
Enclosed are two Sherlock plug-ins for searching Amazon.com books and
music. These were created because any of the existing Amazon plug-ins I've
tried simply don't work correctly.
Generic Amazon plug-ins only search for books, not music, so I created a
separate music search. Shortly after creating this plug-in, another amazon
music plug-in turned up at a popular web site. In testing, I found that the
other book and music plug-ins did not return the full list of hits. In one
instance, a music search only returned two items where my music plug-in
returned over twenty! In addition, the other plug-ins included a separate
search for classical music which didn't work at all because it was
searching the books database. My single music plug-in correctly searches
both the popular and classical music databases.
