What am I missing or doing wrong? I tried my name, nothing. I tried your name, nothing.

Is taking the capitalization out of my name, even though I’ve replaced it twice. It makes the search void.

I had to plug in an app dev key for mine to populate. Takes like 30 seconds, it should pop something up with a guide. Little less convenient though.
