Terry Brown | 1 comments I'm interested in supernatural themes in literature, especially vampires, zombies and the various shapeshifters.

The goodreads internal search engine can search by author and title but not by year, and by subject only very broadly. The search engine clearly knows the total number of results for a given subject, since it gives a specific number in the thousands; but it's only possible to view the first thousand entries, 10 entries per page to a limit of 100 pages.

Is there some way to delete the program's consideration of the first hundred pages in such a way that the next hundred will be displayed and so on? An outside google search of Goodreads.com produces way too many results, so that's not the answer to the problem. It should, however, be pretty simple for anyone who knows about programming.

Any information that might prove useful in the problem's solution would be greeted with glad cries.

Hi Terry

This is site functionality which is nothing to do with volunteer librarians.

As a tip, I recommend reading the header of any group you join on GR & the header contains link for contacting Support (Staff)

Also, please read this thread which says what librarians can't help with.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... & it also contains the link.
