Overview
The Google Shopping Search node allows users to perform product searches using Google's shopping service. This node is particularly useful for e-commerce applications, price comparison tools, or any scenario where users need to find products based on specific criteria such as price, condition, or location. For example, a user could search for "laptop under $500" to find budget-friendly options or "Nike shoes size 10" to locate specific footwear.
