There's a lot of good data in CK, but it's hard to get at. I'd like to have different options for sorting the CK search results, so that it would be easier to find relevant/interesting information. For example, when searching by publication year, I'd like options to sort those results by number of copies and by rating. (This was partially inspired by eromsted's heroic efforts here.)

It would also be nice if CK search results were generally displayed in a more user-friendly format, similar to the new sitewide search results. The current format really doesn't inspire.

Also: this could tie in to Jeremy's interest in historical books. It would be nice to see at a glance which books published in 1910 were highest-rated or are currently most popular.

I'd love to see some kind of best-of-2010 lists, in different genres. Would have been great for Christmas shopping! Whether this is best done through CK or otherwise, I don't know.

Thanks. This is definitely something we want to work on.
