Hi Tom,
Every different type of webpage needs a custom settings profile defined for it. If you compare the two web pages involved you will see that they contain significantly layout. The example I give on the front page will work on Fantastic Fiction for any Fantastic Fiction author. However I have not included with this plugin an equivalent for Goodreads, yet you are trying settings as though I had
. You arem mixing a shelf results page settings with a search results page settings, hence it does not work correctly.
However it is I think an interesting suggestion that I do include an equivalent of that Fantastic Fiction profile for Goodreads, which will parse the first page of search results. That would give you exactly what you want.
Keep an eye out for a new version of the plugin, I will try to include it if it is indeed possible...
