Figure 7.19  amazon's advanced dVd search offers a huge number of options.
You won't get these kinds of search options when you're actually building
your searches, but I recommend you use them when you're making your
test queries, if any of them are at all relevant to your search. hey'll bring to
light topics (or DVDs or electronics or CDs or whatever) that you might not
have thought of, and might help you generate more query words. Asking
you to use the wonderful advanced search options that Amazon gives and
then telling you to go back and use the more limited alert services sounds
counterintuitive, I know. But I want you to at least see what the possibilities
are for your topic in the category you're searching before you have to limit
yourself with the trapping tools.
