Question "Get Books" funtion not working

It was working one minute, and then not the next.

It will *immediately* give me the "Couldn't find any books matching your query" popup window. It doesn't matter what I search for... it comes up every time.

Yes... I have all my typical stores enabled (including manybook, gutenberg, etc). I've also tried enabling ALL of the stores... still no luck.

Any ideas?

Nope, no luck there. Firewall is disabled and still the same problem.

I've restarted Calibre, I've restarted my computer, I've disabled my antivirus, I restarted in debug mode, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Calibre... all to no avail.

I have no idea what might have happened.

It says "No proxies used." We have a direct connection.

Preferences->searching has no bearing on get books. Your symptmms imply some network connectivity issue. Firewalls and proxies are the common suspects.
