NAME
       Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch - Validate ItemSearch requests.


SYNOPSIS
         Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch;

         my $valid   = Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::factory(search_index => 'Actor');
         my $option  = $itemsearch_valid->user_or_default($input);
         my $default = $itemsearch_valid->default();


DESCRIPTION
       "Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch" is a class used to verify ItemSearch operation based on the current
       version of the WSDL and locale.  For example if an Artist search is executed the user can search against
       Classical, Merchants, or Music.

   METHODS
       factory(search_index => type)
           Constructs a new "Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch" object, used to validate user input for a
           SearchIndex.  Valid types include Actor, Artist, AudienceRating, Author Brand, BrowseNode, City,
           Composer, Condition, Conductor, Count, Cuisine, DeliveryMethod, Director, ISPUPostalCode, ItemPage,
           Keywords, MPAARating, Manufacturer, MaximumPrice, MerchantId, MinimumPrice, MusicLabel, Neighborhood,
           Orchestra, Power, Publisher, Sort, TextStream and Title.  Which departments these search indexes are
           valid for is dependent upon locale.

       default()
           Return the default value for a given SearchIndex.  Default are determined in order of preference and
           existence from the following list: Books, Music, DVD, Software.  If none of those items are valid for
           a given SearchIndex then the first valid department of said SearchIndex is used.

       user_or_default( $input )
           If user input is specified it validates the input, and return it, otherwise it returns the default
           value for the SearchIndex.

NAME
       Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch - Validate user supplied options against known valid options.


SYNOPSIS
         use Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch;

         # ...

         my $valid = Net::Amazon::Validate::ItemSearch::factory(search_index => 'Actor');
         $valid->user_or_default($input);
         $valid->default();


DESCRIPTION
   METHODS
       Asin()
           The item's ASIN number.

       Please check the subclasses of "Net::Amazon::Validate" for specialized methods.


TODO
       I should probably add a function to dispatch calls automatically, that way the user doesn't have to
       explicity call a function to verify an option.  It would make it very easy to write loops to validate
       input.


BUGS
       This library was designed to validate ResponseGroup requests only.  Support for other parameters were
       autogenerated but not verified.  The biggest problems are with the intrepration of 'Integers 1 to 30', 'A
       Merchant ID', or 'Amazon (the default value)'.
