Doesn't give any results. Re-installed and tested with multiple search criteria, and it doesn't show anything.

I installed the new version today and the GMBSpy Search Function works perfectly. I was not able to click the Download As CSV Link and receive a file but copy and paste worked just fine. Could be my computer setup. Go to a browser and type in maps.google.com and then make your searches. Note to George Nenni: Can you please fix the Download Link Feature?
