No matches found with identifiers, retrying using only title and authors. Query: u'https://www.kobo.com/en/search?Query=9780062820716&fcmedia=Book&fclanguages=all

I also tried with a new install:

Code:
Querying: https://www.kobo.com/search?Query=9780062416216&fcmedia=Book&fclanguages=all
No matches found with identifiers, retrying using only title and authors. Query: u'https://www.kobo.com/search?Query=9780062416216&fcmedia=Book&fclanguages=all'
The search is fuzzy and the results are affected by where Kobo thinks you are coming from. In some cases, it will show an exact match on ISBN. But, it can also display a different edition of the book that is available to you. Or none because there isn't a close match. It can be more accurate if the national URLs are used instead of the generic, but, that complicates the plugin without really solving the problem.

Did you have any other metadata? If you have the title or author, the search is much more likely to find something. For first of the above, I do get a result on just the ISBN, but, the book ("The Education of an Idealist" by Samantha Powers) is not the first match. And that edition has a different ISBN.

For the latter, I don't get a match. Searching on the site does find an exact match, "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. There might be a redirect happening or I might not be handling single results properly. I'll have a look at that.
