This was in reference to search in general *not* to searching for 
something from another country. If you don't have the exact search 
right, often what you end up with is a disaster. Had that issue looking 
for books for my mother's Kindle for her. Last name got it, usually, but 
sometimes listed like 495 books. The title, not so much, the first *and* 
last name... don't bet on it always working, if at all. Drives me nuts 
how bad search can be a lot of the time.
