The last time I tried that exercise, it was only showing one, I think they must still be revamping their database.  |
The 10 results for "Orson Scott Card" include the six books that are by him plus 4 books that have his name in the book's Overview (e.g., "...in the tradition of Orson Scott Card's
Ender's Game.")

Actually, if you search on Ember or ember now you get 21 hits including all 4 by Jeanne DuPrau. And if you search on jeanne duprau or Jeanne DuPrau you get the same hits - all four of her books.
I don't know if they've made changes or not but right now their search routine doesn't appear to be so outrageous. But it does irritate me greatly that they've (probably intentionally) made it more difficult to determine how many books they have for sale. That's a work in progress for me.
