Another thing that's happening. Even when title and author is correct, am getting an unusual amount of 'no matches found'.

As a matter of fact I'm ready to go nuts. Almost every flipping book is giving me 'no matches found'.

Also wondering... does the title and author need to be so strict in its exactness? I'm pulling my hair out and wasting a lot of time figuring why the heck I get no matches when everything is spelled correctly.
On extended titles... should there be a comma? a dash? a period? a colon? separating anything? Nothing at all?? Follow what the book title uses...oops, that don't work sometimes.

What about books like for example a Volume One? Vol.1? Vol. One? Just 1?? Can be the difference whether a match is found. Drives me nuts, lol

That's why I ask if search criteria can be looser. So no matter how for example, a Vol 1 is denoted, it'll work.
