Searching at Freading is quirky. Playing around a bit I see that changing the capitalization of title or author in the Freading search causes significant variation in the search results. That didn't used to happen as far as I know.

I used advanced search to look for that book. If I search using "Eileen Brady" as Author and "murders" as Title I get the result "Saddled with Murder" along with two other books by the wrong author. If I change "murders" to "Murders" or "MURDERS" it returns the correct book. Changing the case of the author name also changes the results for some searches.

The plugin uses lower case for its searches. I will need to experiment a bit more before deciding how to change it. If using upper case consistently performs better I may go with that but there is the risk of a different set of books not being found that way. I can have it perform duplicate searches with both variations but that is going to slow it down.
