If the author is a GR author then rivka will need to merge the profiles, but I cannot find a GE author profile for a Zoe or Zoë Sharp
Merged Zoë Sharp and Zoe Sharp. Neither was a GR author.
If any other book details are verifiably incorrect, feel free to edit.

I am wondering whether I am correct in thinking that if a book has been added with Zoe, then authors merged; that it seems to show up when searching for Zoe - even though it is correctly linked to Zoë.
Just to say I really like being able to add a book I want to read, instead of ending up with heaps of requests at the library; in appreciation of just what it takes to run a site like this!

Sometimes for a day or two, until the search completely re-indexes. Not permanently.

GR is a great place !

While this is something we hope to improve, it is not currently true in most cases.

I'm guessing it's the importer issues that Rivka mentioned in an earlier query I had.
I have yet to merge the author profiles, because I tried it once (it did the opposite of what I intended), and GR members who search will probably use the e, rather than ë (although that is the correct spelling of the author's name).

are also affected. Zoë has joined GR, though generally uses e, because of the problems with ë.
I would be grateful for suggestions of how best to deal with this. Also some publishing company details have been changed (which is minor) though I got the details directly from the author, and her website.
Thanks for any help or suggestions :)
