Question on fetch-ebook-metadata behavior

Hi all,

I'm confused by the behavior of 'fetch-ebook-metadata' on the command line. If I run the following command:

fetch-ebook-metadata" --title "Grace Under Fire: Book Two In The Locker Nine Series" -I mobi-asin:B076FM12N3

What gets returned is the following:

Title : Grace Under Fire: Letters of Faith in Times of War
Author(s) : Andrew Carroll
Publisher : Crown Publishing Group
Tags : Literary Collections, Letters, Religion, Christian Living, Inspirational, History, Military, United States
Languages : eng
Published : 2007-03-06T12:40:00.626886+00:00
Identifiers : google:_oUpDJQQgtgC, isbn:9780385521611
Comments : ho have been tested[...]

However, if I run the fetch-ebook-metadata with the -v option, it returns info on 20+ different ebooks, including the correct one from Amazon. Can someone clarify what calibre uses as search criteria when fetching metadata in this scenario?

Thanks

John
