Hi there! I understand you're having trouble with the SongbookPro app not downloading or finding songs. Let's work together to get this sorted out.

To start, could you please tell me a bit more? For example:
- Are you having trouble downloading new songs from the app, or are you unable to find songs you already have in your library?
- Are you getting any error messages when trying to download or search for songs?
- Have you tried restarting the app or your device yet?
- Is your device connected to the internet reliably?

Once I have this info, I can guide you through some specific steps. Meanwhile, here’s a general approach to fix these issues:

1. Restart your device: This can clear temporary glitches affecting downloads or searches.
2. Check your internet connection: A weak or intermittent connection can prevent songs from downloading or showing in search results.
3. Clear the app cache and local storage: Sometimes corrupted cache causes problems. You can usually find this in the Windows settings under Apps > SongbookPro > Storage or similar.
4. Backup your library: To avoid data loss.
5. Reinstall the app if needed: Sometimes a fresh install fixes underlying bugs.

If you want, I can provide detailed step-by-step instructions for clearing cache or reinstalling. Also, some users found help by deleting and optimizing the local database within the app settings, which refreshes your local song data1.

Could you let me know what you’ve tried so far so I don’t repeat steps? That way, I can help you better.

Thanks for sharing that detail about the "No Results Found" message, even when trying to reload songs you already have. That helps narrow things down quite a bit.

From recent community reports, it seems other SongbookPro users on PC have been experiencing similar issues with getting "No Results Found," particularly when searching for songs or trying to access content from sites like UltimateGuitar.com through the app. This looks like it might be related to connectivity or integration problems with the external song databases the app uses1.

Here’s what we can try, step-by-step:

1. Check your internet connection again: A stable connection is crucial as the app queries external databases to find songs. Try using a wired connection or moving closer to your Wi-Fi router if possible.

2. Clear SongbookPro cache and database: Since the app stores song metadata locally, corrupted data can cause loading issues. In Windows:
- Go to Settings > Apps > find SongbookPro > click Advanced options.
- Click on Reset or Clear cache if available.
This will remove temporary files but keep your songs safe.

3. Log out and back into the app: Sometimes the session can get stuck causing search problems.

4. Check for app updates: Please ensure you have the latest version installed, as developers may have pushed fixes for this issue recently.

5. Switch song source or rebuild library: Within SongbookPro settings, if you’re using UltimateGuitar as your source, try switching to a different provider if possible, or rebuild the local library to refresh song data.

If those don't solve it, a workaround some users have found is accessing the web version of the song repositories directly, downloading songs there, then importing them manually into SongbookPro, at least until the app fix is released2.

Would you be comfortable trying these steps? Also, is the app updated to the latest version on your PC right now? That info will help me know whether to offer more specific instructions or check for any ongoing service disruptions.

Let me know how it goes!
