Tightening the match criteria

Let's tighten up the match criteria for the Search textbox to make it more robust to changes on Amazon's site.

Let's tighten the match criteria further:

1. Back in Application Modeller, select Textbox – Search. Sort the Attributes according to the Match column such that the matching attributes are listed at the top.
2. Uncheck all the match criteria, except for the following:

4. Click Apply to save the changes without closing ...
