Best way to search

So, the group search functionality currently works solely on a string-search of all fields; this means you'll get the best search results searching for just a title or an author. And beware; only exact string matches will be returned, so if the title you're after is "wrath and mercy", and some users have it catalogued as "wrath & mercy", you'll need to search for both to find all results. Also, beware of variety in author listings, e.g. "John Stott", "John R. W. Stott." You'll see all results by going with just a surname, e.g. "Stott", but in some cases you may encounter too many results to make the search useful.

LibraryThing have just told me that "we're hopeful that we can add "advanced search" features soon, but they're not currently in place."

Thanks James. I have one wall and a bit of my study added. WIll be adding a shelf or so per week....

Excellent. Although this post is mostly to try to revive the group...
