Is it possible to have the search results spit out the closest matches, rather than give you "title not found", just because I misspelled a word? I know this a change which must be implented on your side. I'm trying to enter my collection and the feature would save me time. Thanks

Anything is possible, but at this time you can't do it. When we enter new titles into the database, we try to add alternative titles that people might look for, which helps a little bit. But until we implement a whole new search engine, which may be soon, you'll have to type in either the exact title or at least the first few words of the title, spelled correctly.

By the way, don't forget that our search engine gets fussy with titles that start with an article--a, an, or the. So don't use them to start the title; e.g., "The Searchers" should be entered either as "Searchers, The" or just "Searchers."

"type in ... the first few words of the title, spelled correctly"

Thanks John. That'll work!
