I have a collection called "Booker Prize". When I do a search for "Booker", I get zero results, even though there are two books in the collection; not what I expected.

For those who like search, how are you preparing for searching? Putting keywords in subtitle?
Too much like work. I use the default search which looks at title, author, subtitle & series despite the greyed out text in the search box saying only 'title, author, or series'. I do keep an eye on the results that show up as I type.

Personally, I don't care what awards a book has won so searching for Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell, Bram Stoker, Locus, etc. is not of interest. I used to have collections for the various science fiction, fantasy, mystery, etc. awards but ran into 2 issues. One being the sheer number of awards and two being that I found I did not really care whether a book had won an award or not.
