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. |
Thank you, I've trying myself and it's strange too. This is the first book I've found with this problem in a lot of time so, perhaps, it doesn't pay to make any change if it's going to get complicated.
