Teresa Mummert (teresamummert) When my name is searched only two of my books now show up. I haven't changed my name and this worked correctly in the past. Not sure how to fix it. :(

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Which do not show up?

Probably more off a feedback group issue but if list the books not appearing some one can check they are set up


Snail in Danger (Sid) Nicolaides (upsight) | 106 comments Searching for "shift jeri" brings up SHIFT River Scene by Zachary but not Shift. (I ran into this earlier.)

Gerd | 1050 comments Well, the Goodreads search engine has always been wonky.
I doesn't, for example, find Kat Falls for what ever reason.

So yeah, best put it in feedback.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments You should put this on the feedback group I've mentioned this on the feedback group -- it sounds like the search indexing is broken again (we had similar problems a few years ago) -- but in looking through your books I did notice a separate problem.

Some of your books seem to have the ISBN-13s entered into the ISBN field, so they've lost the last 3 digits.

Examples:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Do you have the ISBN-13 values for these books, so that we can correct this? It wouldn't have anything to do with why they're not showing up in a title or author search, but it would affect readers who tried to search by ISBN, since the cut off ISBNs wouldn't show up on a search for the full ISBN-13s.

Teresa Mummert (teresamummert) Yes I have them but I'm currently not home. I'll fix them. Thanks.
