Search Tips

1. Chinese keywords get more results
2. English keywords are auto-expanded with synonyms and word variants
3. Sort by sales_desc to find popular/trusted products (best on XHS)
4. Use platform filter to narrow results to a specific platform
5. Use get_product_detail with a URL directly — no need to parse first
