I have looked up a few bar codes for obscure products via the API (e.g. 074265003984). The message comes back saying there is no information. If I then do a manual search through the website it still says there is no information but then a dialog box pops up saying that a deep search is being performed and would I like to see the results; I click yes and I get all the information on the item; and I know its correct because I have the item right in front of me. If I now go back to my application and do the lookup again via the API this time I do get back all the information, and if I repeat the search it is still there. How can I request the deep search via the data feed API. Forgive me if this is already answered somewhere on your site, I looked over the site but couldn't see any explanation for this.

On the data feed page there is a link to the details of using the current API.

Right now, the current version information can be found here:

In short, add "search=deep" to your url.
