Oh didn't realize that, then in total agreement, language search is a no-go.

I sometimes go to overdrive.com directly, search for the books I want since searching within my library won't show what books are available in Overdrive, since the results are limited to that specific library and Overdrive.com shows what books are available to all libraries. That way I can pick/choose the exact version of the book and just update the URL for it and voila. This also helps with the "notify" tag in Libby, since librarians have mentioned they use that to determine what books patrons want. Many times the book will show up for the library, but 0 out 0 books are available, I tag those in Libby as notify.

Will give that a shot post-beta, thanks!
