Search results on ABR are not matching search results on Audible

Thank you for the great app and all the hard work!

I have noticed with different titles that they do not show up on ABR search page no matter which country I choose and whether I include the full name, author name, or a combination of everything.

I have noticed this with different titles and I'm not sure if they have something in common or not. The last example was an audiobook called "Edison's Ghosts: The Untold Weirdness of History's Greatest Geniuses". I tried searching for the whole title, "Edison's Ghosts", "Edison's", or the author name, and all did not show any results. It is the first result when searching on Audible.com website (US).

• Version [e.g. 1.9.0 nightly:fd159b0]. Located at the very bottom-right on any settings page
• How is ABR deployed [e.g. Unraid, Docker run, Docker-Compose, Kubernetes, Bare-bones, etc.]

I'm running ABR [1.8.0], installed locally (not on Docker)

Thank you!

That's an interesting point. Even though I refactored how the audible API is accessed in 1.10.0, the result is still the same.

I'm also having mixed results on audible itself. Searching "Edison's ghost" on audible doesnt actually show "Edison's ghost" in the results and only in the search suggestions (the drop down while typing in the search bar). That's also what I use for my search suggestions which is why it also shows up on ABR while you type.

But it also seems like the API I use [1] is handled differently than the actual audible website search. But I'm also getting unreliable results on the audible website itself. If I search for "Edison's Ghosts: The Untold Weirdness of History's Greatest Geniuses" on audible.de I get a random collection of Edison books (but not the correct one). If I search on audible.com I don't get any results.

I'm not quite sure how to fix this because I can't even get reliable results on the audible website. The search doesn't want to return "Edison's Ghost" for me no matter what I search, even though it appears in the search suggestions.

I am not sure either, but I have ran into the same issue for different titles since and I cannot find a specific pattern to them. The last one was "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Carlo Rovelli". It is the first result on the Audible.com website (and android app) but does not show up on ABR at all. If it helps pinpointing the issue I can keep collecting different titles with the same issue.
