Amazon AWS Itemsearch - Using Keywords to Search in Product Title Only

Does anyone know how to target the Amazon AWS ItemSeach so that it searches in the product title only? I'm using keywords but the results returned are only vaguely related.

This example searches for 'wireless headset xbox' in the 'Accessories' node(676172011) of 'VideoGames':

&Operation=ItemSearch
&SearchIndex=VideoGames
&ItemPage=1
&BrowseNode=676172011
&Sort=salesrank
&Keywords=Wireless%20headset%20xbox
&ResponseGroup=Large

I would expect this to return only products with 'wireless headset xbox' in the tile. However only aprroximately 50% are 'correct'.

Looking at the results returned from similar 'aStore' searches, all results have the keyword in the title.

Any help much appreciated.

According to the ItemSearch documentation you need to replace the Keywords parameter with the Title parameter:

Title - The title associated with the item. You can enter all or part of the title. Title searches are a subset of Keyword searches. If a Title search yields insufficient results, consider using a Keywords search. [emphasis mine]
