[Bug 321038] [NEW] ISBN search returns "The search returned no items"

[LukeKendall]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tellico

I can't get searches to return any items.  The same ISBN (0-553-56273-8) which in GCstar returns all the expected info from ISBNdb.com, in tellico returns nothing.  Ditto for library of congress.  I found via google a response to this problem that said to try adding the line
Syntax=grs-1
to the config file and I also found a response that said that worked, but nowhere could I find a mention of which section of the config file I should add that line to.  I tried adding it to the section for ISBNdb.com data source and that didn't work, nor did it adding it only to the Fetch section.
I have tried several ISBN numbers, with and without "-" character separating the numbers.

PS:
The reason for wanting tellico over gcstar is that I'm hopeful of adding some automation to feed it a whole long list of ISBNs (collected e.g. by a long barcode scan session to collect barcodes and somehow converting those to ISBNs), so I don't have to add every book one by one, manually.
