Put the title into double quotes, so the search engine searches on the entire string, instead of each separate word:
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/Sea...ip+of+the+ring
vs.
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/Sea...of+the+ring%22
and:
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/Sea...ince+of+ravens
vs.
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/Sea...e+of+ravens%22
As you can see, the two first searches have some of the same books. It seems Kobo tries to guess the book (maybe doing a quoted search internally), coming up with only one book, and filling the rest of the page with (random?) best-sellers. The two second searches are much more relevant, producing the correct book and many related books, as those related books probably refer to, or are referred by the one you are searching for.
