Google has a hierarchy of terms that is searches on. There is an industry devoted to getting products and companies at or near the top of that hierarchy. You might try typing several words pointing to what you are looking for. If it's a book, you could try searching Amazon.com/books for help. ----- Original Message ----- From: Martha Rafter To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 10, 2013 10:03 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Google Books Hi Folks, Sometimes when I go to books.google.com and type my search—book title in quotes and a text string—the results have nothing at all to do with my book at all. Does anyone know what causes this? More importantly, does anyone know how to prevent this sort of thing? I am assuming google is giving me what it thinks I want; it makes me angry. Thanks for any help! Marty
