Audible & Sonos Search

I use my Sonos system to listen to my Audible books.  I have hundreds of books so I use the search extensively, however, today I tried to search for a book while in the Audible list and Audible is not included in the drop down search.  So, it defaults to TuneIn and no results are found.  When did this change?  Is there a setting I am not seeing?  I tried looking under Amazon Music but that is specifically music not Audible.  Any help would be appreciated.

It works fine on iOS devices but to stream to a Sonos system from the Android Audible app the book in question needs to be downloaded to my device. If it's not then the Sonos system doesn't appear as a 'connect to device' option.

This is truly a mess that only Sonos and Audible can rectify.  I, too, was able to search audible titles within the Sonos controller app on my PC or even in the Sonos app on my smartphone or I-pad UNTIL ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.

 

I have over 500 Audible titles and I can’t scroll through 500 titles on the Sonos app under “music source” (Audible) just to find the title I’d like to listen to on my Sonos speakers.

 

There’s no rational reason that Sonos/Audible have removed the search function, which worked perfectly.

 

Another example of sheer corporate indifference to the needs of the users from whom the engineers, developers, and executives profit directly.
