Where's My Book? - Chrome Extension for Google Books Search

'Where's My Book?' is a useful Chrome extension for book lovers. It addresses the long-standing deficit of searching within uploaded Google Play Books. With the extension, a search box becomes available, allowing users to instantly filter loaded Google Books results by title or author. The extension even shows how many books match the current filter and how many books are present towards your quota of 1000.

User reviews

Seems to be broken again. Used to be 5*. Now 3*. Or even 1*? :-(

As far as I can tell, other people aren't having this problem so it might be something I'm doing wrong, but this is not working at all. No matter what I type or how long I let the page load, the result is always "Displaying 0 of 0 total books loaded" Refreshing the page didn't help, and neither did removing and re-installing the extension. I even tried turning my Adblock off, in case that was the problem. If this glitch is fixed, this extension would be very useful, but until then this is 1-2 star rating from me.
