Search Major Retailers

Preflight — Hebrew term resolution

Same as search-main-tech-stores:

1. Check data/hebrew-category-map.json.
2. Run discover-hebrew-term if missing.
3. Build query as <hebrew category> <brand Latin> <model Latin>.
4. Have all he_terms ready to retry.

Backend choice

Same as the other search skills: Playwright (default, local IP) or Tavily (fast fallback). Ask the user once per session.

How to find each retailer's search

Same caveat as search-main-tech-stores — data/retailers.md URL patterns are last-known-good hints, not contracts. If a pattern fails, navigate to the retailer's homepage, locate the search input, submit the Hebrew query, and read the results. Update data/retailers.md with whatever you discover.

Workflow

1. Preflight — Hebrew term resolution.
2. For each of the four retailers, submit the Hebrew query (homepage-form approach if URL pattern is unreliable).
3. Try alternate he_terms if the primary returns nothing.
4. Apply VAT rules from data/shopping-rules.md.
5. Rank low-to-high.

Fallback

If a retailer comes back empty after all he_terms:

1. Brand + model only (no Hebrew noun).
2. search-google-il with <brand model> site:<retailer-domain>.
3. Skip and note in output.

Output

Same table format as search-main-tech-stores. Note when a retailer is clearly out-of-category for the query (e.g. searching Audioline for a vacuum cleaner — say so).

Rules

• Cap at 5 results per retailer.
• If none of these retailers fit (e.g. user asks for a niche tactical product), suggest search-by-category instead.
• Out-of-category misses are normal and not worth flagging unless every retailer missed.
