Now the only choice I get is for the 1 selected book which of course is titled "Unknown" and the library has no book titled "Unknown" by that author.
For the particular authors name that I entered, there are 17 books at my library and Overdrive found none of those. I had to enter a particular title for that author and Overdrive then found that one book.
The job details (log) show that the program is finding all 17 books.
There is a line of the job details (log) that says "search filters not applied. Reloading response page".

In the latest version of the plugin I changed the ability to search for additional books by the selected author from a menu choice to a plugin configuration option. ('Discover more books by authors of selected books') Make sure that this option is set in your plugin configuration.
The message about search filters results from a problem I came across when I changed to plugin to search the Overdrive library sites individually instead of using search.overdrive.com. I have found that occasionally the restrictions on a search (such as ebook format, language or exact author name) are not applied, leading to excessive search results. The plugin detects this and retries the search, which seems to correct the problem. This should not have anything to do with the problem you are experiencing.
