Please check the API before posting. Item and snippets have different purposes. Basically, Item is for the search for your product items after you sign in (either AuthSub or ClientLogin).
Anyway, is this is a Google API design flaw or something?? <g:id>Some Alphanumeric ID</g:id> should be searchable but currently I can't perform search on this attribute. It's frustrating to see there is no returned results for this. Only thing is my current IDs consist of "integer" value. (ex: "12345" instead of "G66gleSux") Maybe is this causing the problem? Not only this, there are other attributes don't return results by the same reason.
