The default value False for allow_import changes the existing behavior for all callers who don't explicitly pass this parameter. Consider defaulting to True to maintain backward compatibility, or ensure all existing callers are updated to explicitly pass allow_import=True where needed.

I decided to default to false as a result of the performance risks associated. Enabling it on a per-use case basis is I think a safer approach.

Closes #11280 . This remove the auto-import of the
/isbn. Note the greatest fix long term. We should create a separate issue to investigate how to re-enable. But this did appear to resolve our traffic issues, while still keeping the/isbnpoint up for finding books.Technical
