Search without losing the source
Search and Verify Sugargoo Spreadsheet Records
This is an operating guide for the live spreadsheet interface. It explains how to reproduce a search and distinguish an empty result from a loading failure. Search results remain discovery records, not proof of current stock.
Two kinds of search
A digits-only query is sent as an exact source-product ID search. Other text is sent as a text query. Copy only the numeric itemID from a source URL when you want to locate that exact record; pasting the whole URL is a different text search.
The selected category remains active when you submit a query. If an exact ID returns nothing, choose All products and submit it again before concluding that the record is absent.
A reproducible lookup sequence
- Choose All products to remove a category restriction.
- Enter a source ID taken from a real product link, or a short product phrase.
- Submit Search and note the result count.
- If several results remain, select the relevant category and record that filter.
- Use Previous or Next for another result page; do not treat page one as the entire catalogue.
- Open the source listing to verify the option and reference price.
Interpret the screen, not an assumption
| Visible state | Meaning | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Loading products | A request has not finished | Wait for a result or retry control |
| No products match these filters | This query/filter combination returned no items | Check spelling, exact ID and selected category |
| Retry catalogue | The service response could not be loaded or validated | Retry once when ready; do not call it zero stock |
| Product cards | Records were returned | Verify the source before buying |
Why an English display label can look generic
When a source name is unavailable or contains Chinese characters, this interface can display a category plus the numerical source ID. That fallback is a locator, not a new product title or an editorial endorsement. The source URL remains the place to check the actual listing.
For a US purchase, do not treat a successful search as approval of import eligibility, the agent's current acceptance rules or a shipping route. Those checks happen after the record has been found.
Questions about this workflow
Why did my exact ID return no result?
A category filter may still be active, or that ID may not be present in the current service. Try All products with the numeric ID. A server error should show Retry catalogue instead of being interpreted as no stock.
Does changing the agent duplicate the record?
No. The chooser selects an external purchase route for the source product. It does not add a second product to the shared catalogue.
