It's like their search function is worse than reddit. Is it on purpose and is there like a trick to make it function right? Are there better alternatives, has anyone built an api for them? They do seem to have a lot and quality links - search is just terrible

What book are you trying to search for? I've noticed that they definitely have a lot, but sometimes not everything, especially if the books are newer. I haven't really had an issue with the search function though, what exactly is happening when you try searching for a book?

I was searching for "Thanks for the feedback" - could be they just don't have it. I don't have an example on hand but Ive had it happen that my search result was just irrelevant stuff and later I found the book through related categories. Searching for the literal titles doesn't filter properly for me at least.
