As a matter of fact I'm ready to go nuts. Almost every flipping book is giving me 'no matches found'.

Also wondering... does the title and author need to be so strict in its exactness? I'm pulling my hair out and wasting a lot of time figuring why the heck I get no matches when everything is spelled correctly.
On extended titles... should there be a comma? a dash? a period? a colon? separating anything? Nothing at all?? Follow what the book title uses...oops, that don't work sometimes.

What about books like for example a Volume One? Vol.1? Vol. One? Just 1?? Can be the difference whether a match is found. Drives me nuts, lol

That's why I ask if search criteria can be looser. So no matter how for example, a Vol 1 is denoted, it'll work.
If an ISBN (identifier) is used, that takes precedence . If it is wrong, then No Match is common (Delete that and try with just the author and title)
To few GOOD metadata sources, limits your chances. As this thread shows: sources can go bad until the source plugin author knows to adjust for site change. Kovid does the built ins when someone pipes up here. If you use a 3rd party Plugin (from the index), make a comment in THAT plugins thread.
