I'm not sure what you mean here. The latter is the id stored for the a book. It is intended to point directly to the book.

If what you mean is for the search to fetch the author page and only look for the title on that page, that is an interesting idea. But, it assumes that the author is correct. And it assumes something about how this plugin works. Most of the metadata source plugins fetch the search page results and parse that. But, this one uses a API. To do it the way you suggest, would mean a rewrite of the search. And I'm not sure it would be any more accurate than what is being done now.
