Put what you are searching for in quotes to get the best results. If you do not want erotica (I don't either) you can add -erotica to your search. Like this: "bundles"-erotica

And yes, I know that not all erotica is XXX, but that is the metadata label publishers use for it.

The issue of Kobo being totally unable to use some sort of fuzzy logic is one they are working on. Right now they rely solely on what the Publisher has input into specific fields (like series name) and if you don't do it exactly the same way, the search doesn't work.

I often put the name of the book into Google, with Kobo after it. How sad is that?
