1bookelA search problem with recommendations that I have noticed for a long time: Searching a title with a word that includes apostrophes either takes a long time (or it works but this is rare) or doesn't bring up anything (usually I get tired of waiting and remove the apostrophied word and try again). A search with the apostrophied word works fine and quickly on the "ordinary" LT search at top right. An example when making a recommendation where the apostrophe is a problem: thing's concert That title actually did not turn up, but two unrelated books did. (Yes the book is on LT http://www.librarything.com/series/Thing+-+Klein ) Searching: concert klein in recommendations did bring the book up. Searching: thing's concert klein in recommendations brought up nothing. Trying all three on LT's search box at top right to compare: thing's concert klein - result came up, yes concert klein - result came up, yes thing's concert - result came up, yes No problems there. The problem is with recommendation's search. Here is an example with an apostrophe that works, no problems: LT search: In summertime it's Tuffy Judie Angell - result came up, yes Recommendations search: In summertime it's Tuffy Judie Angell - result came up, yes So it seems to vary whether the result comes up or not. This one was fine. Does it depend on where the apostrophe is? Or is there some other variable? 2jjmcgaffeyI bet "it's" is a stopword - that is, search identifies and ignores it (as it does the, an, a...). Otherwise it has to check way too many words. But the other is actually searched on and fails. |
