You need the title when doing the search. The search is for a book, and that means title and probably author. And if there is already an identifier, such as the ISBN, this will also be used. Most time I don't get a match it is because the title I started with is wrong. In these cases, I use the browser to find the book somewhere (usually goodreads) and use the title from there.

If you are still not getting anything, post the log from the search. There is a details or log button at the bottom of the results dialog. That shows what was done and can often show why it didn't work.
