CN Central: Searching by Title Problem

Question

Hi! Can anyone help please? I am very new to all this and so far everything has gone smoothly, but I can’t seem to find my book ‘In The Lion’s Paw’ when I search for it by its title. I can find it though, if I search on my name. I’ll admit to being a little puzzled by this. Am I doing something wrong in the way I’ve produced the book?

I have checked and the book is available to the ‘public’. I’ve had one person buy a copy so far, this due to the fact that I gave them the direct URL of the page…

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Best wishes,
Ninian

Hi there,

I had a look into this. It seems that our search doesn’t like apostrophes, which is why your book doesn’t show up when you include that in the title. One of our developers will take a look at that issue and get it fixed as soon as they can.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks,

Anna

Thanks for looking into this Anna. It’s good to know you are on to the problem. I may be the first to use an apostrophe in a book title, but I’m sure I won’t be the last!

Please keep me posted as to how you get on.

Thanks again.
