Update 6.3.0. as a fix for search-results for books without an isbn.
Hope that will do.


Update available at the start of this thread and within calibre through preferences=>plugin-installer/update.

I think BOL has changed the site again. Every single book is showing the same error message.
The logging:

Gebruik bijvoorbeeld alleen de achternaam van de auteur en een enkel onderscheidend woord uit de titel.<p>Klik op 'Details weergeven' om het volledige logbestand weer te geven.
