Add Amazon CN, ES, IT, and IN to the list of supported sites. Note that the URLs are not necessarily the same as what we currently do for Amazon.com, UK, FR, CA and DE.
Can we get support for Library of Congress online catalog searching too (I am surprised we don't already considering we have other national library searches like COPAC and BNF, etc.)?

Here is a search template for LoC by ISBN:
* https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchArg=<isbn>&searchCode=KISB&searchType=1</isbn>
Here are some examples searches:
* https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchArg=0312855648&searchCode=KISB&searchType=1
* https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchArg=9780312855642&searchCode=KISB&searchType=1
Notice using KISB search code it needs a complete ISBN with no punctuation (no hyphens, etc.) because it is looking for keywords but can be either ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 and both will work fine.
You can change the search code to ISBL to do a left-match search which will allow hyphens, etc. (the fields searched are slightly different and the search matching methodology is different too).

In looking into this more apparently ISBL is the right search code to use to support both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13.

Since it is left-matching one can also provide partial ISBNs and, e.g., search for all books with ISBN prefix 085091 (mostly issues by Lothian).
There is help on canned searching:

Removed references to Amazon JP since it was linked in FR 1032. Also, the Library of Congress was linked in FR 1034.
