Remarks

This is like searching a section of a catalog. If not specified, the product search is conducted across all domains. DomainName is an unbounded field. If you are using a URL, and you want to specify multiple values, use an index value (not a comma). For example, to specify DomainName=Textbooks,Education, specify DomainName(0)=Textbooks,%20Education. To determine valid domain names, first use this call with QueryKeywords. Domain names are returned for each product (and summarized in the domain histogram, if you specify DomainHistogram in IncludeSelector).

A domain is a named grouping of categories whose items share common product characteristics. For example, all bound books have a binding or format (e.g., Hardcover), but audiobooks don't. So audiobooks would have their own domain. To limit your search to audiobooks, you would specify Audiobooks as the domain.

Only useful when QueryKeywords is specified. If you use this with ProductID, AND logic is applied. In this case, if you specify an ID that doesn't match the domain (as Half.com has defined it), no matching product will be found. Therefore, we recommend that you only use DomainName with QueryKeywords.
