Thanks for the feedback!
We're at the mercy of some pretty bad APIs.
- The autocomplete API is powered by Google Books, which returns some pretty iffy results at times. It's also rate limited, but not as bad as the others
- Goodreads API doesn't support auto complete and has no plans to. I guess it's too chatty.
- Ebay ISBN search only works for some books. There's no clear indication as to what will and what won't return a result list. Here's an example bug raised in 2012 with no action. https://forums.developer.ebay.com/questions/1079/finditemsbyproduct-only-works-with-some-ean.html https://forums.developer.ebay.com/questions/1079/finditemsby...
EDIT: Re: Amazon, I turned it off for AU given they don't really ship here. If it's desired, I can turn it back on.
