ISBN didn't find books

ceccadroid opened this issue · comments

I'm using Google as provider for my search but I didn't find some books neither with title nor with the ISBN (10 or 13) from Gogle Books or Goodreads.
An example is "Linger" from Maggie Stiefvater (english version in this case)
What can I do?
Thank in advance for any help

@ceccadroid Is your "Preferred locale" in the plugin settings set to english?

@fkuersch Sorry, I completely miss the notification 😞 My locale is set to Italian since the majority of my book are in this language. May I need to swith the locale before searching for books in other languages?

Yes, indeed. The current implementation strictly filters by language, so search results in other languages are hidden (even if you enter the matching ISBN)

I'll try next time I'll add a book in a different language.

I'm unable to find this book: 978-0193518322

This book refuses to come up whether searching by name, author or ISBN. I've tried the default locale and the English UK locale with no luck.

Any hints for how to debug this problem?
