I used to use this to search books to get POC, but suddenly, it would not allow me to make a topic search. I wanted to search a particular disease, and the program kept coming back to Health, Fitness and Dieting. Not what I was looking for. And then it would not allow me to change the order of the number of reviews from least to most. I clicked on the top of the column, but nothing happened. I then cancelled the extension and tried to reload it after clearing the cache. It did not make any difference. @Debra Kurs said to change the location, but there was no way to change it except by country. So that didn't work. Suggestions?
