They do? Two fields were searched and no result. How is that working on it? Another bug is the Connect program searching int he Connect store. It only allows me to enter in a keyword. I have the then cut/paste to the correct field after the search fails.

I just took a closer look at the Connect store. It's a POS. And that's being nice. I decided to try to find The Color of Magic by category and I went to fantasy. I noticed it's looks like a hodgepodge mess. And it really is. If you are searching say by author and then you want to click on a title or author, you can do so. But when you go back, it changes your sort to best match and then you have to change it back to author and start over at page 1. So you have to go through however many pages you did the last time to get where you were. Also, when you klick on an author, there's a good change you'll find more books then were in the list. The Connect store is a good way not to find books they have for sale. Searching sucks, browsing sucks, and the interface sucks. Calling it a POS is being nice. They have it setup to be very hard to use. I'm a geek so I can handle it sorta. But if I was to have given my mother a reader lik in the latest advert, she's be lost. And rightly so. Search fora book and watch NOTHING show up some of the time even if they have it.

Sony .. LISTEN UP! FIX your shit before you find everyone on Mobileread with a Sony Reader buying LIT format books and not bothering with LRX books once the credit is used up. All I know is if it was me supporting my Mom, I'd get her the books she wanted but not from the connect store. Some of the formatting is crap, the functionality of the Connect store is awful. When you test your shit, use geeks. They'll find the bugs.
