MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 535 comments So. I read a book this weekend I wanted to track. It's called (Not) The One and is by a woman. I think her last name starts with an "A."

But the piss poor search system here does NOT locate this book, even through multiple pages of search results. How a book named "Hush Hush" shows up on Title Results page for a book called "(Not) The One" is just beyond ridiculous and falls into the laughable category.

So. Can anyone help me find this book or it is yet another casualty of GR.


MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 535 comments 6+ search pages in and NOTHING.

On Amazon and than searched by ASIN / ISBN here....


Elizabeth (Alaska) Nice trouble-shooting, Olivia, and thanks for sharing that. I think the major problem searching for this title is that all of the words are very common ones.

Which doesn't stop Amazon search from working, event without author/title/etc. filter, but this is a not a place for this discussion...
