Improvements on search-results on GoodReads

[Jon Ivar]

Hiu, I have a few small suggestions for changes/improvements on the GoodReads web-page:

1. Could you improve your searches with a few extra possibilities?
it would be great if you could add the publishers when searching for books, or the language of the books you want to find.

2. When you search for a book, but can`t find the right edition, you go in to "editions" of the book you are looking at.
Would it here be possible to:
A)
At the top of the page, have a button or a hyperlink to the message-board where you can request adding new editions?
So that if you don`t find your edition, you can get directly to where you request adding a new edition.

B)
Can you add more search-options, so you could choose to search for "publisher" (Eks. so you can search for "Gryphon edition",
when looking for as an example:
"Charles Darwin`s - On the origin of species by means of natural selection, special edition by Gryphon (Leather-bound)"

C)
It would be great for an extra option in the search-details to choose from, to be able to choose "language" (So when you are searching for a specific edition out of 4000 options, you can easily narrow the search by choosing the right language (Some books have the original title, but are still in another language).

Also just a small problem I am wondering if it is just for me or if everyone have the same problem:

When you are in the "Add new book" to ask for a new book or edition to be added, when you hold mouse over the comment section,
on the right hand side you get an "information-bar" with "Group rules".
This bar is only visible when you hold the mouse over the comment-section, when you move the cursor of the mouse away, the information-bar goes away...
In this information-bar there are links. These links/hyperlinks say "Follow this template".... or that "If you have problems finding, push here"!
But it is impossible to "push here" or to push on any of the links/hyperlink in that information-window,
as the information-window itself goes away when you try to put the cursor of the mouse over to it,
as you then have to move it away from the "comment-window" that makes it appear :)
Is this just on my computer, or are these hyperlinks actually impossible to push/get to? :)
