I was thinking of sending him a pm with, because it's not appropriate. ;p (One of the adult content ebooks; they all seem to be the worst offenders.)
I'm not knowledgeable enough to troubleshoot plugins, but I did look at the zip file; I know the first xpath is matching exactly, ie, this:
<div id="search-results-1" data-bn-widget-name="search-results" class="list search-results"><ol class="result-set box" data-bntrack="Search Results list" data-bntrack-root="true" data-bntrack-pageaware="true">
<li class="result box has-badge" id="search-result0" data-bntrack="1">
But, I couldn't follow beyond that, with my limited knowledge.
Further messing around shows, if there's a valid ISBN, but no 'author', it fails, which is irritating. (Ie, author = "Unknown" or blank...)
All of the problem ones are, again, adult, so have only the BN ID (which is fine for me in my filename as an ISBN), but the plugin doesn't see the results as valid.
Okay, here's a somewhat crude, but hopefully appropriate, example:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s?stor...e+Dave+Praeger
That returns a valid result. But, plugin say, me no give you love!

You can see that the exact query as printed returns 2 results, for that one. For pretty much everything else, there's just one result, so not even a need to figure out what's valid. I'm sorry I can't be more help. And it's not that big of a deal, I guess, since I only have 10 more left to search on by hand now, just disappointed because the B&N plugin seems like it would have been perfect to fill in the metadata. (All of these have the ISBN empty, and ISBN Extract bombs on them, so I wanted to avoid doing exactly what I'm doing, which is cutting and pasting each ISBN off B&N's site!
