Well, the way the bug first hit me is that a search for the UPC
4934569350404 should return the hit
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9F-%E3%83%95%E3%83%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%82%A2-Blu-ray-%E6%B2%B3%E6%A3%AE%E6%AD%A3%E6%B2%BB-%E8%8F%8A%E5%9C%B0%E5%BA%B7%E4%BB%81/dp/B0017MLZE0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1272329383&sr=8-1

As another example, a title search for Lord of the Rings should return
a number of results, but doesn't.
