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
