How Do I Setup Alerts or Subscribe to Deals for 'Products' Only?

So, I'm in the market for an iPad Pro (or maybe an Air). I see that the different sizes exist as products in OzBargain, and I can select 'want' on them. However, I'm failing to understand how to actually setup an alert for these specific products - I would love to get an email to these deals when posted.

I have, at the moment, set up a search alert for 'ipad pro', but I keep getting alerts for chargers and stuff like that.

Is there a trick I'm missing on how to get alerts for a product?

I feel like this is almost certainly an FAQ, but my search-fu sucks. I saw Setting Up Search Alerts when trying to post this, so maybe what I'm looking for might be a new feature? I think title only might not work, because for what I'm looking for, sometimes there can be multiple deals for Apple products, and the iPad Pro might be in the body?

Edit: an example of a product page

Edit 2: OK, So now my searching works. I found a few other forum posts, this one in particular: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/372932 - guess I just go with the search alerts unless something changes.

    Oh, the irony - my search alert for 'ipad pro' alerted me about my own forum post :-D

      You can add type:ozbdeal to your search alert query so it only triggers when the post is a deal (not forum/competition/etc)

        Haha! I learned that a short while after! Thanks for confirming that is a sensible way. This and the size suggestion by spackbase seems like a good fit for now.

        Unless I can figure out a good way to use the rss feed…

    Get specific on size, to get rid of cases etc
    128GB
    256GB

      This seems like a power user tip - thanks!

    Merged from Can I Subscribe to a Product?

    Hi All,

    Can I subscribe to a product, not a store? For example:-

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/lg-oled65c1ptb

    If I am interested in this specific product, can I subscribe to get an alert if anyone flags a deal on this?

    Thanks !

      Type "LG C1" in search, click Create Alert.

      Thank you.

      I tried that but that seems to subscribe me to everything posted about the product (forum posts etc). Can I just subscribe to 'deals' for the product?
