There are 6 books on bookshare containing Excel, but 3 of them appear to
be exactly the same.  Can someone check in to that?  The book with
multiple copies is Writing Excel Macros with VBA, 2nd Edition by Steven
Roman, and it must be an O'Reilly book since it is an excellent quality
book only available in daisy format.

Of course typing excel in the search box also comes up with titles
containing a word that contains those letters, which is kind of
annoying.
Could the search possibly be made to accept wildcard characters so that
stupidity isn't necessary?  It should only look for your typed in string
as a whole word unless you ad a star, because that is how searches
usually work.  When it only comes up with a short list of books the
current system is alright, but if you get a very long list of results it
wastes a lot of time.
