Tips

• Use English keywords for broader results; the database has more English content
• When locale=zh, translated fields appear in the translations array
• Products are sorted by upvotes (most popular first)
• hypeScore = community excitement; utilityScore = practical value
• The metaphor field gives a quick "it's like X for Y" comparison
• If no results are found, try broader or alternative keywords
