My Spotlight - Search by Publication date etc...

[#1]

I would like to see my spotlight improved by adding to the drop down menu "Search" by Publication Date...relevance.  Because I have more than a few books, I want to see book type  in the search drop down for people to access my subjects easily. 

For instance, I wrote a few topics on winter for kids and I would like to group these together if possible.  I can't do this now.  People have to move through page after page to get to the various subjects or book  topics.  This is supposed to be accessible and easy for them.  It should be a pleasant experience, not a frustration course in locating a book.

Another way is to put group types in search option drop down menu.  I have so many that it would be great to make it easier for me and for people who view the spotlight to find what  they want. 

Hardcovers, 

Paperbacks,

E-books,

I get what you mean, but the system does not seem to work anyway.

The Spotlight  searchbar cannot find anything. I have no idea what it is searching for but it cannot find my products' keywords so what use is is?

Again, I really hope Lulu picks this up because it is less than useless and does not do the site justice.

Hi Sue, thanks for your suggestion. I think the general concept of grouping projects and allowing them to be filtered or searched by those groupings is an excellent idea that we've heard from many authors before. Best of luck!

I hope my suggestion takes hold somehow. The whole idea, I think, is to make it easier for people to find something - specifically the buyer! If the person viewing the spotlight only sees one subject or type of book, they might not look further. We want the buyer to know there is more than one subject or type of material available by an author. Is the idea to sell an item? I believe so. We want them to see everything. Now if the suggestion helps - the author, the publisher and the buyer! - even better. My hope is that at least Lulu will come up with something to make it easier for everyone. This is a suggestion for this purpose.
