When I hired Absolute to create this for me, I realized that for some, using the model number would be difficult, but it was the best solution to fit my needs. I'm not sure using the product name would be all that easy either (i guess it would depend on how complex the product naming scheme was). It could be altered to use the product id, which in the end is how it is stored in the database.
I'm glad to hear it works on 1.3.5. So for those who are wondering, it has been tested and works on 1.2+, 1.3, and 1.35.
On a side note, one way to more quickly use the barcode is to have it show on the product listing and as you find items to cross sell, you can copy and paste the model number into the advanced xsell form (have two windows open and hitting control + tab allows you to toggle between two windows). Anyways, just a thought.
