Series not showing up in a search

[Shanna_redwind]

I searched for the 'Colsec' series, which includes Exiles of Colsec, Caves of Klydor and Colsec Rebellion.
The series title is not showing up in the search, so only the two books with colsec in the title showed up.

When I went into the Exiles of Colsec page, they were already part of the series, it's just not showing in the search. How should that be fixed?

Here's the series:

Search doesn't look at anything but what's on the title line. This is a known issue, and not something librarians can do much about.

Why do some of them show up, while some do not? If I search for the "Ranger's Apprentice", all of the books in that series show up.

Also, when I search the author, Douglas Hill, the Last Legionary series is on the title line after the title of the book,(though Last Legionary is not searchable like) while the Colsec Series in not. I wasn't even sure which ones were in the Colsec Series.

Because those books have the series information included in the title field. That's one of the reasons to keep putting the series information in the title field.

You can use this page to search for a series.
