I should have been clearer. That is a statement about a change by OverDrive, not a change in this plugin.

The ability to search OverDrive for books that can be recommended used to be available for a limited set of lending libraries. It is no longer available for any of them.

Does that mean we can indeed still search for them?
No. They took away the ability to recommend books and also the ability to search for books to recommend.

I haven't gotten around to removing that option yet. At this point it does not do anything.

On further thought I am going to leave it in place since it still applies to Cloud Library.
