Looks like your API key is being rejected... maybe temporary on the db's end, 
just thought I'd bring it to your attention

Thanks, I got this sorted out over the weekend, so things should be working 
properly again in CVS version 1.0.77.

Looks like you're using version 1.0.73...do you find the scraper gives you WAY 
too many results for simple search queries?  That was a bug caused by some 
recent API changes at ComicVine...if you're experiencing that problem, it will 
be fixed in 1.0.77.

Also, in 1.0.77 you can sub in your own API key more easily:   just put 
API_KEY=blahblahblah into the Advanced Settings dialog.

I like both these things you just said.  I am COMPLETELY aggravated by
their search modifications.  Seems like they do an "OR" logic for each
word.  I always tweak your code a bit to append IDs to people, characters,
teams, storylines etc to preserve uniqueness, so I don't always take new
versions unless I absolutely have to.

PS, that would be a nice advanced setting, STORE_ID=YES saves "Superman
[182826]" for instance ;)

Yeah, they did switch from "AND" based search terms to "OR" based.

I fixed the problem by manually inserting "AND" between each search term.  So 
instead of searching for "batman arkham asylum", now the scraper searches for 
"batman AND arkham AND asylum".  Which now gives the same results that the 
scraper used to get.
