[BUG] - Search results for files dont match sources

[jmcgrathstuff]

Bug Description

Search results for files don't match (or only partially match, no results for files that are present, missing file types) that can be found on Zlib, AA

Manually going to Zlib or AA and searching returns correct full results

Can you be more specific? Shelfmark doesn't search Zlib, and there's various valid reasons why Shelfmark won't match a plain query in AA.

[jmcgrathstuff]

My apologies. I thought you were using Zlib as well.

Basically, the issue I’m finding is

1. Sporadicly only returning say 3 file type results for individual books in a single file format i.e “mobi”, yet conducting the same basic title/author search directly on AA returns multiple instances of the correct book in different formats (epub, pdf etc) as well as mobi.

Effectively, if I’m looking for something in a particular format and I don’t get a match within shelfmark, a basic search in AA typically produces all versions… so I’m thinking some results are not being returned to shelfmark.

Nothing fancy or complex just missing results

It also appears that say AA has 30 matches for a book, sometimes only three or four matches are shown within shelfmark for the same basic search.

What are your chosen formats in Settings > General? Do you have specific examples of queries, and how are you searching (i.e. direct/universal, using hardcover etc)?

A couple of the big reasons why Shelfmark won't return results: a search result exists but the file download within it doesn't exist, the format might not match (E.g. PDF is disabled by default), the search result doesn't have any language data (got to choose "All languages" for this), or it has found valid results via ISBN first which may be a narrower but more exact search.

[jmcgrathstuff]

Its a universal search, settings are all default, when I search again and have more inconsistent results I will capture some of the searches.

Add a comma after the book title.
