Bella Forrest (ashadeofvampire) | 33 comments Hi,

I added my new book to the site on Friday 5th April, but it's not showing up anywhere at all in the search results:

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Bella

The ASIN was in the ISBN field. I've moved it to the correct field but I don't know if that would cause your problem. The searching is being worked on and there are delays in books appearing.

message 9: by Jack (new)

Jack | 4 comments Hello
As of last night, my ebook The Third Murderer has fallen off the Goodreads search engine. I have an author's page. The book is listed there. But using the search engine yesterday and today, it doesn't pull up my book, my name as author, or my book via genre. It will only pull up my book using the amazon # B007IWI4DI. I tried to manually reenter the book, but no success. One day my book is there and then disappears. Please help

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments Jack, I can see it on your author page, but there has been a temporary "issue" with searching. If it doesn't reappear in searches after 48 hours, can you let us know?

Hurrah! My book is back on search... twice, one with a cover and one without. But beggars can't be choosers. I hope that it stays on search. Thank you very much for your time and all your help.

Actually, I just merged the duplicate. Try the search again.
