Issue Summary
Enabling the "Amazon Browse" widget in the details page displays a variety of Browse Node paths for the item being shown.
For example:
No Country for Old Men (Vintage International)
Action & Adventure : Genre Fiction : Literature & Fiction : Subjects : Books :
Movie Tie-Ins : Genre Fiction : Literature & Fiction : Subjects : Books :
Literary : Literature & Fiction : Subjects : Books :
All product : Products : :
Books : Products : :Clicking on the "Genre Fiction" link above takes us to:
/amazon_store?BrowseNode=10134&SearchIndex=Books
Which displays nothing in the results page. Just an empty search form populated with Category: Books. No results.
Same thing happens with all the "Amazon Browse" links I've tried so far.
I have the following options set in the settings page:
[x] Display search form
[x] Display "narrow by" form
[x] Display sort form
[x] Display category selection pulldown
Default Merchant ID for search:
Amazon
(x) All
Default search index selection on amazon_store page: Grocery
Default items for amazon_store page if no search has been done (no keywords present):
SearchIndex Only - Use Amazon's default browsenode for the selected search index
A browsenode specified below
(x) A list of Amazon ASINs specified below
Search index used to populate items on page with no keywords: Grocery
Default Browsenode ID:
16310101
Default Item List:
B000V17MLS,B002GQ3IDC,B000GHJJVI,B000JSQDT0,B000EN764G,B0001CVDZI,B000WQ1AYC,B000EICISA,B001XWRMXC,B000N542KQ
Categories to include in search box, category search block, etc. It's often preferable to exclude some categories:
(the following is a list of categories I've selected)
All

Books
DVD
Gourmet Food
Grocery
Health/Personal Care
Kindle Store
Kitchen
Magazines

I'm not sure, but I think the BrowseNode parameter handling is not working correctly... I never see any results when I visit /amazon_store?BrowseNode=SomeValidBrowseNodeId

Just FYI, and I don't know if this is even relevant to this one, but when I was working on this a couple years ago, the folks at browsenodes.com were not even sure if Amazon was continuing down the path of supporting browsenodes, so it's possible that they're just "legacy".
Thanks for all the great work on everything!

Yeah, I see that there are uncertainties about BrowseNodes but they are supported and documented at present, and we can get "Top Sellers" easily using them; I'd love to have a way to navigate top products (and other things) by BrowseNode.
Glad I can help. I need this module, I need it to work well, so it's an 'itch I need to scratch'. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to accomplish; the Amazon API is a bit opaque so I have lots of nuances to deal with.
