Searching by title is inconsistent #579

Open eleybourn opened 10 years ago

Consider adding a very old book e.g. “The Triumph of Time” by James Blish using the internet search method as there is no ISBN code.

Search results in a single but wrong book - James Blish, “Cities in Flight”  (it is a collection of all 4 books in the series of the same name).

 

User actions to correct the situations are:

A.      Substitute the title by retyping, delete the ISBN code as it is irrelevant, delete series info and save it  -  BANG – the wrong ISBN code and title are back. 

B.      Retype the correct title, delete the ISBN code, replace image from the camera –the wrong ISBN code and title are back again.

I think this will be soved by allowing for a list of books as a search result.

We may want to consider always returning a list when the non-ISBN searches are used.
