The recipe reads those attributes with html_items parse: json + path, so it needs an extension whose interpreter lists the html_json feature (0.1.12 or later); older extensions get extension_outdated from wield-mcp. The page's product search API (/q/api/search) answers servers 401, so it is not used. Paging uses offset=, which robots.txt disallows, so the recipe reads the first page only. No sponsored tiles were in the list. The search is semantic: 'qzxwvkjhgfdpl' still finds 1579 products (numFound in the page state, not readable as JSON), so there is no empty result to detect. v2 (2026-11-07 22:53): keywords only (online shop removed: they steered unrelated searches here, C1 ranking note).",
