Please add The Complete Works of Emily Dickinson, Kindle edition. It should come up in the list for the Delphi Poets Series, but doesn't, nor can I find it under the Delphi Complete Works series. If you just search for Emily Dickinson you get 701 entries......

Many thanks

Theresa

It's best to search after ASIN/ISBN.

But it should still come up in the Delphi series with all their other books surely?

Catalina | 2066 comments Actually Delphi series it's not a series according to GR standard. If you search for "Delphi series" as a keyword, those books appear cause they have it in their title, while this one it's only named "The Complete Works of Emily Dickinson".

Your decision of course but it doesn't feel that user friendly.

If you search in Amazon using Delphi or Delphi poets with Emily then she comes up. It's a shame that the Goodreads catalogue isn't as user friendly and similar to Amazon's. :(

Catalina | 2066 comments I anyway added in the edition field it belongs to the Delphi Poets Series(Imprint). Now it should appear in search if you use "Delphi Poets Series" as a keyword.

Brilliant. Thank you, very kind. :)

Good try Catalina, but 'Delphi Poets' brings up 37 entries but not Emily Dickinson. It was worth asking.

The cache can take up to 48h to update, probably will show up in a bit.

Thanks, Catalina, I'll try again later. You will be glad to be rid of me ;)

BTW I've just sung the praises of the volunteer librarians in one of my groups. It a super service, and so fast too.

In general, the search index takes about 10 minutes to update. (The caches that take about 48 hours are individual pages, like author profiles and book pages.) The edition field is not one of the fields the search uses.

Not my intention at all, I am trying to help you as best as I can. Thank you very much, I am sure all the librarians are happy to know their voluntary work is appreciated :)

I was looking for somewhere on the Librarian Group's pages to say thanks for the service but there isn't anywhere...

Farewell! :(

Something it must use.
The books that appear don't have it in their titles anymore as I updated them according to the manual. They only have those words in the edition field and in description, same as Emily Dickinson edition. What prevents it from appearing in the search, or better what makes the others appear?

Things that are already in the search index take much longer to stop appearing.
