I can't add books, either.
I use a valid isbn 9783980616805. Overcat takes a long time, then says "the search has failed". So do the other catalogues I've tried (British library, University of Oxford, Library of Congress, SUDOC Montpellier, Libris Stockholm, and a few others).
Searching a few Amazons does yield results.
Manual add works fine.

I walked away for 90 minutes, came back, and three copies of the book were in my catalog. LOL

>3 Petroglyph: Having what I think is the same issue. An Overcat/Library of Congress/British Library search fails for multiple valid ISBNs. No descriptive error messages beyond "The search has failed" but it seems to be a timeout problem. Searching Amazon.com or .co.uk results in a hit, but when I click to add the book title to the library it takes a couple of minutes to complete.
Hardly an enormous issue for adding one book from Amazon of course, but I've got approximately another 500 titles to catalogue. I think I'll find something else to do this afternoon.

Or upload a .csv via universal import. (Make sure to keep the isbn fields empty: the importer will ignore your info and substitute search results if a record has an isbn)

Sorry folks, looks like Overcat went down sometime around 3:00am UTC (11pm ET), it should be back up and running but let us know if you're still having issues adding books!

Looks like the searches that were failing for my earlier isbn are working now. Thanks!

Just tried about 5 different times both ways to add a book. Also scan on app just bringing up random books

>11 RuthieD: What book were you trying to add? Did you follow the link to the Add Books page if the Amazon auto add didn't work? If so, which source did you use?
PLEASE give us more details to try to sort things out.
