Amazon search not working?

Barbara 6 years ago

I've tried to add a new cookbook (Vegetarian India by Madhur Jaffrey) which is listed on Amazon the title search is not bring it up. So I added it manually, but I can't upload a cover picture. I know others have had the problem with uploading images but has the Amazon search feature also been failing?

I've had no problems (2026) with adding covers. I don't think it now fetches from Amazon, least not for the ones I've added. It gets them from archives website, I believe. I've also entered a couple of them manually. With fetching, be sure to press Update My Shelf (or whatever it says there). THEN the cover will appear. (Please Andrew, correct me if I am wrong.)

You're correct, Catbatty. I'll be looking into making the update not require a refresh, but at the moment this is how it works. Do be aware that any forum posts from before this year refer to an older version of this website with a different set of procedures and code. They're just here for historical reference.
