Ongoing tuning of the quick search
In progress
Aug 14, 2026
We've had some great examples shared by booksellers of quick search queries not performing as expected around some author title combinations.
We are tuning the search to address these use cases, and expect to release next week. This will continue to be refined based on user feedback.
Comments
Significant updates have now been released to address reported examples of queries providing unexpected results.
We are still reviewing some of the weighting around title matches vs title & contributor/author matches, which requires further investigation and experimentation. This largely affects records where an author's name is referenced in the title, either appropriately (such as a biography about the author) or inappropriately (such as a promotional reference to an author).
However tuning explicitly for this scenario could disrupt other search scenarios, so requires careful monitoring.
We welcome TitlePage users to continue sending us any real world search query where the the top ranking titles are not matching their search intent, so we can review and refine further.
