And that demonstrates the need to see the log. The Amazon search is actually finding it, but, it doesn't the match isn't meeting one of the conditions of the search (having a cached page). The contents of the log did suggest to me to change which county to use. Changing to Brazil found the book. As did changing to the Amazon servers.

I don't expect a new calibre user to look at the log and think to try this. But, if someone is reporting a problem, then we need some details to be able to work out what is happening.
