[ubuntu] No Amazon results in Unity

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – As a regular user of amazon, I was quite eager to try out the Amazon search function in dash. I've got the latest beta of 12.10 with all the latest updates, but I'm not seeing any amazon search results in dash. I'm only seeing results from the ubuntu One Music store. Are search results disabled becouse I'm located in Norway? Despite being in Norway, I regularily purchase books from amazon, and would love to search for stuff in the dash. Any ideas? (Hardware)
