Receiving a search intent based on product name and sending a list of pharmaceutical items that match the name (Java)
In this use case, the user types the name of a pharmaceutical product on a search bar and expects a list of items whose names match his search. This usually happens when there is just a single pharmacy catalog published a BPP
