Hello, My name is David Bernstein (with 3 spaces) and I am the author of the book Goblins, ISBN: 9781619230866. Releases on August 4th, 2015. The book is on goodreads, but when I search "Goblins" or "Goblins by David Bernstein" nothing comes up. It is on my author page as one of my books and people have left reviews by going to my author page, scrolling down to the book and then clicking on it. My other books do come up when searched for, except for Skinner from Darkfuse AISN: B00YATF8G8 release date July 21st. Are these books not coming up because of their release date? Or can you fix it so a search will find them? Thank you.

Librarians are volunteer users. For issues with the website you need to post in the Feedback group where GR staff can see or contact them directly.
However as you can see from the link above your book is found. Don't use the word BY as GR search is not very efficient and will search by all words. It's not smart enough to exclude a by
It's not only not smart enough to exclude or handle the "by" but "by author name" totally messes up a search in goodreads. Try "title / author" instead or even just "title author" instead of "title by author"

The search function is flakey at times
