Is there a way to indicate a preference order for Amazon searches (beyond the first)? I.e.: I want by default to get results from .ca, then .com, then .co.uk, etc.

If not, what is the order the app uses by default (if I've selected .ca as my preference).

Thanks,

-Josh

It moves, in my experience, up the list, from bottom to top, wrapping around. Bear in mind it searches all the Amazons and only uses your preference when there are multiple hits. Even if, say, Amazon France is last in your list, if it's the only one with results, it's what you'll see.

This comes up when, say, a UK record store will somehow sell a CD with a US barcode and Delicious Library keeps pulling up the US release and confusing the heck out of the user.

Cool, thanks.

Please consider the option to order the list in the preferences as a feature request. :-)

Also, it would be nice to be able to disable sources - I almost never want data from Amazon Japan, since it's in a character set I can't read! It would be nice to be able to configure it away.
