Is there a way to search for a series?

[Conquering]

I can't seem to find a way to search to see if a series already exists before creating one. Am I missing something?

I don't believe there is currently a way to do it through Goodreads, but there is a way through Google.

Use this phrase to search Google (without the brackets):

site:goodreads.com/series [insert series name]

So, for example:

site:goodreads.com/series Harry Potter

would bring up lnks to the Harry Potter series on Goodreads.

Not exactly a search, but sometimes you can spot at http://www.goodreads.com/series/ ; as a double check I also search for portion of series name just from regular goodreads search in case a book has series name in title.

Since series are attached to author page (the primary author of first books in series only), I'm not completely sure how goodreads handles iwhen duplicates get created.

I am positive duplicate series can be created (see it frequently done by editing a book to add in a series name so that series gets recreated again versus properly editing the series to add the missing book).

There's actually a custom search available (linked from the main series page): http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=002...
