Thanks Em, if I knew that about the Advanced search default, I forgot about it.
I never use Basic search anymore because it gives too many results. How that
one book got set to English UK when the other eight did not is another mystery.
Hmmm, I wonder if it could be reset to US English so it comes up along with the
rest of the series. Madeleine, Would you be able to do that?

Hi Evan,
It seems the problem is the language setting. That particular book is listed
as English UK whereas the others in the series are listed as English US. The
advanced search defaults to English US. I believe the basic search looks at
all languages so you should be able to find it using that.

Guys, I have a little mystery I'd like your help with. In checking on a
series Lissi and I are working on, something strange is happening with one of
the books. The most recent book we did in this series, The Going Rate, by John
Brady, only shows up in the list of his books when I click on the link to the
author's name. If I type in the title, or the author's name, or both, into the
Advanced search field, the book does not show up. If I enter John Brady into
the
Advanced search field and go to the relevant author, all eight of the other
books we did come up, (and a ninth book about interviewing which I think is by
a different John Brady), but not The Going Rate, which is the most recent one
we did. I'm wondering if anyone else here would care to try entering the title
or author into the Advanced search field and see what happens. Also, if anyone
has any idea why the book doesn't show up for me under normal searching, I'd
appreciate hearing about it. I do frequent searches for myself and Lissi to
determine whether something is in the collection in order to figure out what
books to try to get to scan, and it disturbs me a bit to find out that just
typing in a title does not necessarily bring up the book even if it is in the
collection, or entering an author does not necessarily bring up all of their
books that are in the collection. I've made sure my settings bring up books of
all qualities, and besides, this book was just recently approved and is in
excellent condition, having been proofread by the very best proofreader around.
I'm biased, I admit. <smile>
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing what other people find. If others of
you get the same results, then I think someone at Bookshare needs to look into
the matter. Thanks much.
Evan
