I've been trying to get Searchbook to work for quite a while now, at first the red search bar would appear, but the results shown were still the ones for the random query I typed (scrolling didn't help). This was a week ago, I tried to figure out what I was doing wrong again today with the same result but now even the red "query interecpted" bar is missing. I tried copy and pasting the queries from the readme file, tried changing my language, nothing provided any results. I only ever got as far as Searchbook providing me with the user ID and me setting the query. What else could I be doing wrong? Thanks for all your work!

Since you said you've been having this issue for a week now, the developer made a few edits about 4 days ago. I had issues about 3 days ago and went to read comments to see if there were changes and noticed the developer's comment on the code page that was only a day old at the time so I assumed that was likely why my version was no longer working correctly. I just deleted the version I had downloaded a couple weeks ago and then re-download the zip file and reinstalled it to Firefox. It works great again. But the issues you are describing are ones I experienced at the time as well.

Really embarassed now because that actually did the trick! Feeling incredibly stupid for not figuring out that there was an updated version lol Thanks so much, slayerutica!

You're very welcome Hhhannahhh. And don't feel bad. I yelled my computer screen for about 10 minutes and wanted to cry before I realized there was a recent comment with an update lol

glad you resolved it. from the latest version, there is a notification system that warns you with a red banner if your version is not up to date.
