site:www.amazon.com

[Sven Kalow]

Hi,

I’ve tested the API and it’s not possible to request the searchcount
for a “www-host”, e.g.
curl "http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?
q=site:www.amazon.com&type=tweet"
=> response":{"w":0,"h":0,"a":1,"d":0,"m":1}}

I expect an aggregation count for all hosts of the domain if I request
with a specific subleveldomain (site:amazon.com). So the request for
site:www.amazon.de should be a subset of the request site:amazon.com.
This is also the behavior in Google.

The question is also:
Is site:amazon.com the same like site:www.amazom.com (without other
hosts) or is this the aggregation of all hosts (www + astore + aws ++
askville + …)

Here my tests:
curl "http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?
q=site:amazon.com&type=tweet"
curl "http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?
q=site:www.amazon.com&type=tweet"
curl "http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?
q=site:askville.amazon.com&type=tweet"
curl "http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?
q=site:astore.amazon.com&type=tweet"
curl "http://otter.topsy.com/searchcount.json?
q=site:aws.amazon.com&type=tweet"

It would be nice if you can fix this.
