Hello @jimheisig
Search with title is designed as like WordPress default search. It will bring everything that match with the word along with the title.
We have tried with the word “transitions” and it just bring only one item as the word related with only one book.
Hope you understand that.
You happened to pick a lucky word, “Transitions”. Take the term “Nishida” for example (which is the name of an author) and type it in TITLES. Most of the titles that come up do NOT have “Nishida” in the title, only in the description. Or take my name, “Heisig”. I appear in NO TITLE and yet my name comes up 14 times in books where I am the author or the editor).
Another problem shows up when I search for the name “O’Leary.” The word automatically changes to “O\’Leary” and nothing shows up in the search. But when I type just “Leary”, his 2 books show up fine. Now this is the same problem at one level—namely, the author’s name showing up when you are searching only for titles. But the more serious problem is that the search engine cannot handle apostrophes
First, We use the name as “title” search but more specifically it is a keyword search which brings all the content related to that word. This is how a default wordpress global search also work.
If you only want it to work specifically on title then you need to customize the code.
Second, I just search with “O’Leary” and it also bring two books!

Thanks for reaching out. It is indeed as I first thought. For now I changed the wording to “Title & decription”, but could you tell me how to fix the code so it chooses only the actual book title?
