The provider search behind Fix match and a book’s Match. Searches the providers for the work’s kind (movies for a movie, series for a series or episode, Audible’s books for a book), best first. Without query, the work’s parsed title and year are used, and for a book its title and first author. A query of the form tmdb-438631 or tvdb-81189, or for a book an ASIN (B08G9PRS1K), looks that ID up directly. A book is searched for in Audible’s store for its library’s content rating country. This is the one request that calls a provider; it gives up after 10 seconds with 503 and code providerUnavailable.
