Hi everyone.

I've an issue while making search item with a very specific keyword.

I put here only PHP a few lines of code, let me know if you need more.

Here how I do the request:

$service = new BService\BrowseService([
                'marketplaceId'     => $sideID,//Consts\GlobalIds::IT,
                'authorization'     => $OAuthresponse->access_token
            ]);
            
            $ebay_request = new Types\SearchForItemsRestRequest();
            $ebay_request->q = $code;
            $ebay_request->epid = $code;
            $ebay_request->filter = 'sellers:{pitstopmodelitaly},searchInDescription:true';
            $ebay_response = $service->searchForItems($ebay_request);

Here is a reply with a few lines for each store:

[
    [
        {
            "country": "EBAY-US"
        },
        {
            "title": "Edit185 Tractor Fahr D180 D180H 1954 1/43",
            "id": "v1|256240681578|0"
        }
    ],
    [
        {
            "country": "EBAY-GB"
        }
    ],
    [
        {
            "country": "EBAY-FR"
        },
        {
            "title": "EDIT185 Tracteur Fahr D180 D180H 1954 1/43",
            "id": "v1|256098024911|0"
        }
    ],
    [
        {
            "country": "EBAY-DE"
        }
    ],
    [
        {
            "country": "EBAY-IT"
        },
        {
            "title": "EDIT185 trattore Fahr D180 D180H 1954 1/43",
            "id": "v1|256004502016|0"
        }
    ],
    [
        {
            "country": "EBAY-ES"
        },
        {
            "title": "EDIT185 trattore Fahr D180 D180H 1954 1/43",
            "id": "v1|256004502016|0"
        }
    ]
]

As you can see it works but it seems it works only if my keyword is in title.

Does make it sense?

I would try to make search by MPN (it is a field I always fill with the specific keyword I need), but I don't understand how do that (well.. I thought the "q" field would be enough 🤔).

The BIG problem is WebInterpret which makes translation and it removes my precious keyword from title (I wrote a ticket at their support).

In last days I'm thinking it's more harmful than useful.

I would appreciate if you can help me especially to understand if is my code is correct 🙂.

Thanks to everyone
