message 1: by Lauren (new) - added it

Lauren Kiser | 16 comments Hi there—I have a book publishing on January 21, and when I search the title, it does not display unless I begin typing the parentheses and series title.

So, if I type "Reclaimed Roots" is shows many other books that do not have that exact title. If I type "Reclaimed Roots (Sa" it shows only my book.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks!

Lauren Kiser | 16 comments That seems incredibly problematic if a user is putting in the direct title and it's returning results based on popularity with results that aren't an exact match. If I know what I'm looking for, I shouldn't have to scroll through results that aren't an exact match. All of the other titles that show up have a variation of 'reclaim' but none include exactly "reclaimed roots." Even when I search with the quotations—this is obviously a product search problem.
