Re: Please test amazon search plugin for the US (current ones not working :-( )

["Jaap A. Haitsma" <jaap haitsma org>]

Hi,

I think I found the error now. (I used gnomesearch-plugin as the
affiliate id while it needed to be gnomesearchplugin ). Updated search
plugins are now available on http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/

Please deinstall the ones you currently have and do some searching and
clicking on items and preferably also buying such that I can see that
it works now

Thanks

Jaap
