Thanks for the tip JD, I'll keep it in mind. That should help my kobo searches give more relevant results.

My layperson response to that would be, how many average people will know to use quoted search terms? Surely it can't be difficult to apply some extra criteria to weight search results such as popularity, relevance of all the terms in the search, and even geography (based on apparent IP address of the requestor). The last would certainly cut down on German language results for the majority of Canadians who presumably aren't reading in German.
