After reading about the problems with book searches I tried the Amazon advanced search for the first time.

Using the search term "force of chaos" (including the quotes) in the book title field resulted in only 3 books, two of them with the term in the title or the subtitle and the third one (shown first) with the plural term Forces of Chaos.

For the example that Fluribus gave above, in the general Kindle search using the terms "character and characters" serling (with quotes as shown) only resulted in the one correct Kindle book and the one correct hardcover book.

The same result was achieved in the advanced search using "character and characters" (with quotes) as the title and serling as the author, except that only the Kindle version was shown.

Perhaps it's not well known that quotes can be used in this manner, both on Amazon and in a Google search.
Beat me to it.

I thought it was generally known.

Even finding Advanced Search may be a problem for a newbie.

There is a link in /Help/ or doing a general search in 'Books' for blank will cause an Advanced Search tab to appear.

Again, I knew quotes could be used but I seldom remember and trying to find "Neil" but not O'Neil is a real pain.

After doing any general search in Kindle Store there's a menu bar above the search results, with the first item being Buy a Kindle and the last item being Advanced Search. That's how I found it for the first time.

Funny enough, I've just had the same problem with the daily diary I mentioned in the chat thread. I put in the full title and it didn't show up on the search at all!

Adding the quotes did help but how many people search a title and are effectively told it doesn't exist?

The Goldilocks Enigma by Paul Davies, is $1.99 at amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047O2BBQ
Quote:
The Goldilocks Enigma is Paul Davies’s eagerly awaited return to cosmology, the successor to his critically acclaimed bestseller The Mind of God. Here he tackles all the “big questions,” including the biggest of them all: Why does the universe seem so well adapted for life?

In his characteristically clear and elegant style, Davies shows how recent scientific discoveries point to a perplexing fact: many different aspects of the cosmos, from the properties of the humble carbon atom to the speed of light, seem tailor-made to produce life. A radical new theory says it’s because our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes, each one slightly different. Our universe is bio-friendly by accident—we just happened to win the cosmic jackpot.

While this “multiverse” theory is compelling, it has bizarre implications, such as the existence of infinite copies of each of us and Matrix-like simulated universes. And it still leaves a lot unexplained. Davies believes there’s a more satisfying solution to the problem of existence: the observations we make today could help shape the nature of reality in the remote past. If this is true, then life—and, ultimately, consciousness—aren’t just incidental byproducts of nature, but central players in the evolution of the universe.

Whether he’s elucidating dark matter or dark energy, M-theory or the multiverse, Davies brings the leading edge of science into sharp focus, provoking us to think about the cosmos and our place within it in new and thrilling ways.
