Don't use this class directly, use derived classes (like
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN\*(C'\fR, etc.) instead to specify the type of request and
its parameters.
.PP
However, there's a bunch of parameters to the constructor
that all request types have in common, here they are:
.IP "type" 4
.IX Item "type"
Defaults to \f(CW\*(C`Large\*(C'\fR, but can also be set to \f(CW\*(C`Medium\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`Small\*(C'\fR.
.RS 4
.IP "Large" 8
.IX Item "Large"
The \f(CW\*(C`Large\*(C'\fR type provides everything in \f(CW\*(C`Medium\*(C'\fR as well as music track
information, customer reviews, similar products, offers, and accessory data,
i.e. the kitchen sink.
.IP "Medium" 8
.IX Item "Medium"
The \f(CW\*(C`Medium\*(C'\fR type provides everything in \f(CW\*(C`Small\*(C'\fR as well as sales rank,
editorial reviews, and image URLs.
.IP "Small" 8
.IX Item "Small"
The \f(CW\*(C`Small\*(C'\fR type provies \s-1ASIN\s0, product title, creator (author, artist, etc.),
product group, \s-1URL\s0, and manufacturer.
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.IP "mode" 4
.IX Item "mode"
Defaults to \f(CW\*(C`books\*(C'\fR, but can be set to other catalog values.
.IP "page" 4
.IX Item "page"
Defaults to \f(CW1\fR, but can be set to a different number to 
start with a different result page. Used in conjunction with the
\&\f(CW\*(C`max_pages\*(C'\fR parameter of the \f(CW\*(C`Net::Amazon\*(C'\fR object. \f(CW\*(C`page\*(C'\fR is the
offset, \f(CW\*(C`max_pages\*(C'\fR is the maximum number of pages pulled in starting
at \f(CW\*(C`page\*(C'\fR.
.IP "sort" 4
.IX Item "sort"
Defaults to \f(CW\*(C`salesrank\*(C'\fR, but search results can be sorted in various
ways, depending on the type of product returned by the search.  Search
results may be sorted by the following criteria:

specify \f(CW\*(C`offer => "All"\*(C'\fR.
