I have no problem searching on Kobo, logged in or not.
I did a bit more playing around with the different Get Books options and narrowed it down a bit: it seems to be related only to searches that specify an author. I typically use the "Get Books->Search for this book" option, and this is the one that does not return any results from Kobo. Similarly, if I use the "Get Books->Search for this author" I also do not get Kobo results.
However, if I use "Get Books->Search for this title", I do get Kobo results. Also, if I use "Get Books->Search for ebooks" and just time an author or a title, I get Kobo results (although if I use the author: specifier in the search, I do not get Kobo results).
Using the Kobo wesite directly, there is no adevanced search, so typing in the search field just does a generic search with the following URL (searching for Jim Butcher):
http://www.kobobooks.com/search/sear...?q=jim+butcher
If I click on the author name link in the above results, it narrows the results to only Jim Butcher's books with the following URL:
http://www.kobobooks.com/search/sear...erating&g=both
Hope this helps.
Dave.
