I am updating metadata on hundreds of books. I am using sources: Amazon.com, Big Book Search, Google and Open Library.

I am getting a very low percentage of matches. It doesn't seem to match the title and/or author very well at all, even though a simple google search in a browser turns up the correct book/author.

Is there any way via scripts, templates, etc. to improve metadata hits when doing searches? Is there somewhere to put priority on the columns being search such as Author over Title?
