As you can see, I have those two books already, and they have SDCL links already. There are a total of 6 books at SDCL by that author, but "Search for books by selected authors" looks like it's not even trying, for no evident reason. |
The "Search for books by selected authors" function tries to match the selected books from your calibre library and in addition discovers books by the same author(s) that are not currently in your calibre library.
The search summary dialog only shows changes. If a selected book is already linked or a new book was already discovered by a prior search then it won't appear again in the summary.
Any books in your library by the same author that are not selected when you start the search are ignored and the "Already in calibre, not selected for search" warning is produced. This is proper functioning of the plugin by design. It only works on selected books.
If you still believe that something isn't working properly I will need a full log from a search to diagnose this further.
