Nancy | 15 comments I can't believe that a book by a well known author is not here. Am I doing something wrong? I can find Author Robert K. Massie but Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman isn't listed as one of his books. This book has 236 Customer reviews on Amazon so it is not an obscure tome.

We have 7,893 ratings and 1,011 reviews.

If you search for the book you get a result but if you search for Robert K. Massie the book is not there.

It shows as first book on his page:

Amara Tanith (aftanith) The search doesn't like punctuation for some reason. Try searching for the title without the semicolon.

Nancy | 15 comments Thank you. I'll try to remember the semicolon issue.

In this instance that doesn't seem to be the problem because if you search for Robert Massie (no initial or dot) the book doesn't show up at all.

Amara Tanith (aftanith) From the few threads I've read, there seems to be something very weird going on with the search today.
