Out of curiosity, did it find a source for those specs that wasn't indexed well elsewhere?

Yea. It was reading the contents of the item description I think. In this instance I was looking for an item with specific dimensions and just searching those didn't work because Amazon sellers are ass at naming shit and it returned a load of crap. but when I put them in their AI thing it pulled several matches right away.
